Evaluation-Driven Clinical AI
Continuous, clinically-validated evaluation suites gating every model change.
Given patient-safety stakes, no clinical AI feature should ship without a living, clinician-reviewed evaluation suite — this is rapidly becoming both best practice and, in some jurisdictions, a regulatory expectation.
Signals behind this placement
- —Patient-safety stakes make continuous, clinician-reviewed evaluation a baseline expectation.
- —Several regulators now expect evidence of ongoing model performance monitoring, not just pre-deployment validation.
