The tool works unobtrusively, preserves privacy with localized processing, and evolves with each user via a human‑in‑the‑loop engine to improve accuracy and reduce false positives. When risk indicators emerge, Kaitu sends real‑time alerts to clinicians, complemented by a clinician dashboard for timely intervention. ts development is heading toward FDA Software‑as‑a‑Medical‑Device (SaMD) approval.
