European Society of Cardiology's ESC Chat earns EU certification

European Society of Cardiology has secured certification under the EU Medical Device Regulation for ESC Chat, its assistant that answers clinical questions using the society's own guidelines. The certification recognises the tool as a trusted resource for healthcare professionals, with structured, referenced responses grounded in ESC guidance.

The society unites national cardiac societies and has around 100,000 members. Turning guidelines into a certified digital service is a notable step for a membership body. It shows how professional knowledge can be packaged into a regulated product that members and their peers can rely on.
