As a systems engineer, Bas Vet has a crucial role to play, ensuring the seamless integration of the various components by overseeing all the engineering disciplines involved. Thanks to Bas Vet's clear vision and close coordination between all involved, the project has gone off without a hitch so far.

"For me, what makes this project so challenging is that we are one of the first teams working on a system in which AI plays a crucial role and which also has to be certified under strict EU standards. Combining advanced AI and machine learning with stringent patient safety and reliability requirements calls for far-reaching documentation, diligent risk management and an accurate data collection process. One of the main challenges of the black box method is to get both medical experts and inspectors to buy into the project and trust the outcome. Nevertheless, I am proud of what we have achieved so far. We have managed to keep the project on schedule and on budget thanks to our thoughtful draft design, much to our customer's delight."
