Parties involved

The requirements and recommendations in the guideline are addressed directly to the developers and testers of the AIPA, the manufacturer of the software that incorporates the AIPA and the care organisation that implements this software in its organisation. The intended audience includes manufacturers of devices that include an AIPA, researchers developing and testing an AIPA, care organisations and care providers who wish to purchase and use such devices and authorities that help to determine the quality, deployability and reimbursement of the AIPA. The guideline describes what care providers, citizens and patients, insurance companies and policy-makers (such as the National Health Care Institute and the Dutch Healthcare Authority) can expect from an AIPA developer or manufacturer when they purchase such medical devices, use these devices or have such devices used on them.
