Software that assesses images is a medical device: check the CE class under the MDR (usually IIa or IIb) and whether the algorithm has been validated for your camera or OCT device. Some tools are for 'research use only'. Choose a provider with a data processing agreement, ISO 27001 and ISO 13485, and clear data location (EU hosting or on-premise).
