Background

Scarlet is a London-based certification business focused on medical software, including products that use artificial intelligence. It assesses the safety and clinical benefits of medical devices through a process designed around software development. That specialism matters because medical software can change through repeated updates rather than remaining a fixed product after its first assessment.

The company works on certification of new devices and subsequent product changes. Its stated aim is to make assessment keep pace with improvements to medical software while retaining scrutiny of safety and clinical benefit. Its role sits between device development and the regulatory requirements that manufacturers must meet before bringing medical products to patients.
