Medical Device Software Regulatory Database 'MSC Regulatory Watch' Officially Launched

Medical Software Consulting officially launches 'MSC Regulatory Watch,' a knowledge database for medical device software and SaMD (Software as a Medical Device) regulations and standards, on June 1, 2026, marking the first anniversary of its operations. It contains 157 entries from 11 agencies, including the FDA, PMDA, MHLW, and IEC/ISO, and provides free weekly and monthly updates on new information. Designed with a focus on personal data protection, it is completely free, spam-free, and can be stopped at any time. Both Japanese and English versions are released simultaneously. The regulatory environment for medical device software is complex, making it difficult to track everything. This service is a metadata-based knowledge database that accurately and quickly delivers 'what was released, when, and where.' It does not reprint the original standards but directs users to official links.
