AI is making decisions about patients. AVAAS certifies the AI, not the patient data.
Clinical decision support, triage, diagnostic assistance, and coverage decisions increasingly run through AI. When that AI affects a patient, the stakes are health, not just liability. AVAAS healthcare certification is in development. When it launches, it will certify the behavior and governance of the system without requiring access to protected health information.
The decision point in healthcare
In healthcare, the AI acts when it supports a diagnosis, triages a patient, or recommends approval or denial of coverage. Those decisions reach the patient directly.
When a model influences care or coverage, the decision has to be defensible to clinicians, payers, and the patient, and California now limits what AI can decide alone.
What will keep providers exposed
AI cannot be the sole basis for a denial
California now restricts AI from being the sole basis for denying a medical claim. Coverage models need human accountability and evidence.
Generative AI in patient communication
California requires disclosure when generative AI is used in patient communications. Undisclosed use is a compliance and trust risk.
You cannot hand a patient data to a third party
AVAAS is being designed to certify the model, governance, and artifacts without taking PHI, so business-associate status never attaches.
What AVAAS healthcare certification will provide
Does the model behave safely at the point of care?
Five structurally independent validators will test the system for the failure modes that matter in clinical and coverage settings using causal attribution.
Can clinical and payer governance see the evidence?
AVAAS will produce documented, third-party evidence suited to clinical governance, payer scrutiny, and patient trust.
Can you certify without exposing patient data?
A no-PHI architecture certifies the model, governance, and artifacts, returning aggregates rather than patient data.
AVAAS certifies conformity to a published standard. It is not a substitute for FDA clearance, and it is not legal compliance advice.
