Coalition for Health AI (CHAI)

We are excited to announce we have released the long-form CHAI Applied Model Card, or Health AI “Nutrition Label”, for public comment. This is an important milestone on our mission towards safe, secure, and effective AI in health. This includes an example of a completed card (a partial screenshot of which is attached to this post), instructions, references, resources, and a template of the card. We welcome feedback and stress testing of the CHAI Draft Applied Model Card from our growing community of members and the public. The feedback period is open now until 11:00 PM EST on January 22, 2025. The Draft Applied Model Card was designed by a workgroup representing a range of stakeholders including regional health systems, EHR solution vendors, medical device makers, and health AI leaders and startups.

"CHAI is a forum where everyone comes together to ask questions. What standard should we use? Who’s going to pay for it? How do we avoid innovation delays?” John Halamka, M.D., M.S. of Mayo Clinic closed out a fantastic day of learning and collaboration at CHAI’s inaugural event on Capitol Hill yesterday. “I have watched and participated in past organizations that have gone through this. It’s not going to be easy, we will argue, and it will not to be linear. The first iteration will need to be updated - and all of this is okay. We're all here because society thinks we need guidelines and guardrails. We will take a digital Hippocratic Oath to do no harm.” Thank you to all who joined us. We are excited to continue having impactful discussions while driving innovation in health AI ??

It's an exciting week for the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI) in Washington D.C. Yesterday, our CEO, Brian Anderson, MD met with members of Congress and legislators to discuss bottom-up, industry led self-regulation of AI in health. In these meetings, we discussed CHAI’s ongoing efforts to help ensure health AI safety, security, and the trust required to accelerate innovation. Today, we are hosting our inaugural CHAI on the Hill Day where participants are hearing about real-world applications of predictive and generative AI from industry leaders and developers, receiving insight from Congressional staffers, and experiencing interactive demos that showcase the impact of these technologies on care pathways. #HealthcareOnLinkedIn #AI #AIPolicy

CHAI applauds the partnership between FDA and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to establish a Health AI Assurance Lab (HAIL) for model testing to ensure that AI technologies are performing safely and effectively across the diverse group of veterans the Veterans Health Administration serves. This rigorous testing is crucial for fostering confidence and trust in the AI tools doctors, patients and nurses will use in the future. This collaboration helps pave the way for developing and refining evaluation techniques and regulatory science, particularly for Generative AI in health. Consensus building requires collaboration, which is why we are particularly excited about the potential for similar agencies to engage with HAIL labs and their evaluation frameworks. This will allow for the testing of models deployed across a broader range of patient populations, greatly enhancing the efficacy of AI in health.

The draft CHAI Model Card — or "nutrition label" for health AI — provides a standard template to provide a degree of transparency with key information to simplify the evaluation of AI solution performance and safety.?It was designed by a workgroup representing a wide range of stakeholders including regional health systems, EHR solution vendors, medical device makers, and health AI leaders and startups, with input from patient advocates. Check out a high-level draft version below. For more information about our model card, read our recent press release: https://lnkd.in/dPCCNBfh

We're excited for Day 2 of the CHAI Global Summit at HLTH ??! Check out our CEO Brian Anderson, MD talking about the role of quality assurance?and?lab certification during his keynote yesterday: "Imagine a future where you have an evaluation report card that was done with a custom data set that was informed by a lab that created that data set representing patients like the one you served. It would allow you to make much more informed procurement decision." #CHAI24 #HLTHUSA #HealthcareonLinkedIn

Live from Day 1 of the CHAI Global Summit at HLTH ??: Watch our CEO Brian Anderson, MD discuss CHAI's exciting progress over the past three years during his keynote this morning. Looking forward to Day 2! #HLTH24 #CHAI24 #HealthcareonLinkedIn
