Transforming Otoscopy Using Artificial Intelligence

The US Food and Drug Administration is the regulator for software applications using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for medical purposes. So far, the Food and Drug Administration has approved 692 such AI/ML-enabled medical devices, most of which are related to radiology or use image processing. Very few of these applications are applicable to pediatrics, and only 2 are specifically designed for use in the ear, nose, and throat domain. The work presented by Shaikh and colleagues in this issue of JAMA Pediatrics is a rare example of carefully developed and highly accurate AI/ML models designed for pediatrics and ear, nose, and throat specialties.
