You can reach out to me privately via email if you'd like, in my profile. FDA -- if this is required, you must go through certification with them and depending on which regulatory group you fall under could be a simple 3-6 month process to a multiyear process to prove the system is not a risk to patient safety. If you are doing image processing and it is new algorithms, new techniques, it will need to be clinically validated, which means studies etc, so you are probably looking at 1 year minimum to get cleared before you can legally sell in the U.S. If you are using existing cleared safe algorithms in new ways, then it could be faster. If you are making clinical recommendations than it could be considerably longer. HIPAA is overall fairly easy if you are starting new, you can research it online and reach out to any number of companies that can help you learn the details. There are free classes given by different some legal firms, government agencies etc too that can give you the basics. Essentially, it is about keeping data secure, limiting access, policies and procedures and reporting. It isn't tough, mainly a lot of business processes and maintaining security around patient records etc.
