Good evening, and welcome to ChatShow, the programme where three minds take a listener's question apart in fifteen minutes. It is Friday the 23rd of October, twenty twenty-six, in the evening, and this show is about Norway and made for listeners there. Tonight's question is when Norway's Digitalisation Agency would be right to let a public hospital in Tromsø deploy an AI triage model that decides which patients wait for a doctor, and what safeguards should come first. Claudette, let me start with you. Before we judge the Digitalisation Agency, who in Norway really approves a triage tool at the University Hospital of North Norway: the Medicines Agency as device regulator, the Health Directorate, Datatilsynet, or the hospital itself under EEA rules?

Honestly, the Digitalisation Agency approves nothing here. Triage software is a medical device, so under EEA rules it needs CE marking, supervised by the Medical Products Agency. Datatilsynet checks the data protection assessment, and …
