Problem

When AI-based neuroimaging analysis and neurotech Startups prepare for MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety) Medical device approval, determining whether their product is Class 2 or Class 3, whether clinical trials are required, and the scope of GMP certification takes 3-6 months and $15K-$37K in Legal and regulatory consulting fees.

Solution

Users input product type, functionality, target conditions, and data types. The system references MFDS medical device classification DB and prior approval case DB to automatically provide expected classification, approval pathway, required clinical trial scale, GMP requirements, and estimated timeline. Includes comparative analysis with actual approval timelines of similar products.

Target: Medical AI and neurotech Startup CEOs/RA (Regulatory Affairs) managers, biotech VC analysts

Revenue Model: Free basic assessment, detailed regulatory roadmap Report at $370 per report, Monthly Subscription $150/month (includes update alerts)
