FMEAi / PRODUCT CASE STUDY

Evidence-backed AI. Human-led decisions.

FMEAi is an AI risk intelligence product built by HighCloud for medical-device and energy risk workflows. It shows how source-linked evidence, AI-assisted analysis and human review can work together in a practical product.

THE CHALLENGE

Risk files can miss
what the evidence reveals.

Medical-device teams need to assess evolving failure modes against a growing public evidence base. Manual reviews can make it difficult to identify relevant signals and keep findings traceable.

THE APPROACH

A second opinion.
Not a replacement for judgment.

FMEAi compares existing FMEA and hazard analysis files with AI-derived failure modes and public FDA records, then presents evidence-linked findings for a team to review.

PURPOSE IN PRACTICE

Find the gap.
Before it becomes harm.

FMEAi’s mission is to advance patient safety by preventing harm before products reach patients. Its medical-device profile focuses on software, Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), and AI/ML-enabled devices.

Built for these software-driven devices, FMEAi works alongside existing risk tools rather than requiring a QMS migration.

The medical-device profile uses FDA MAUDE, recalls, enforcement actions and 510(k) records. The energy profile uses PHMSA incident data, NTSB reports and state commission records.

ONE ENGINE. INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC CONTEXT.

Evidence changes.
Accountability doesn’t.

The current public FMEAi site describes two industry profiles sharing import, gap scans, citations and governed review. These are product capabilities; not customer ROI figures.

MEDICAL DEVICE PROFILE

Software-driven risk

For software, SaMD and AI/ML-enabled medical devices, with public FDA records supporting the review of existing FMEA and hazard-analysis files.

ENERGY PROFILE

Asset and utility risk

For electric and gas utilities, with asset FMEA gap scans referencing PHMSA, NTSB and state commission evidence.

WHAT HIGHCLOUD BUILT

Engineering beyond
the AI prompt.

The useful part isn’t just generating an answer. It’s how evidence, roles and decisions connect around it.

01 / EVIDENCE

Source-linked findings

AI-generated observations link back to public records so reviewers can examine the basis for a finding.

02 / GOVERNANCE

Human-controlled records

Engineer review and a separate risk approver govern official record changes. An AI draft is not the authoritative record.

03 / WORKFLOW

Software-first. Workflow-aware.

Software, firmware and AI/ML failure modes are considered alongside risk signals, versioned drafts and project-scoped roles. FMEAi works with existing risk tools rather than requiring a rip-and-replace migration.

THE PRODUCT WORKFLOW

Keep the file.
Strengthen the review.

Capabilities described here reflect the public FMEAi product site. Automated monitoring is on its roadmap and is not presented as a current capability.

01

Bring the existing risk file

Start with the FMEA or hazard analysis your team already uses.

02

Surface gaps with citations

Compare the file against AI-derived failure modes and public FDA evidence.

03

Review, prioritize and decide

Your qualified team examines the evidence and controls the disposition of findings.

What this case study demonstrates

Product capabilities and design approach; not quantified customer outcomes, independent validation, FDA approval or a guarantee of regulatory compliance. FMEAi supports qualified professionals; it does not replace them. Product and mission sources: fmeai.ai and FMEAi About.
