How did you get the numbers on your landing page? It looks like an AI generated product with AI generated "safety". Just like the "2000 clinical AI tools" that hit the US market, this looks like one of the "2000 governance tools" that hit the market. How are you vetting every AI Scribe tool so your product itself isn't biased ? Have you done any work with the companies you have listed in your landing page? It looks like a governance tool that the "trying-to-be" scribe companies would use to not get legit audits.

Thanks for your question.

We use in-house evals (based on existing state-of-the-art benchmarks) to compare ambient scribes.

If you take a deeper look into the companies on our landing page, you will see that the first list refers to the compliance standards our workflows follow and the second refers to the existing tools we integrate with.

> auditable proof that these models are safe, fair

Impossible to deliver

Thanks for your question. Parachute's workflows are built around widely accepted conventions for safety and fairness for AI models in healthcare such as NIST AI RMF, CHAI and HAIP's HEAAL framework.

Are you guys using AI to check on AI ?

Like I said above, we don’t use AI agents to grade other models. Instead, we run in-house evaluations tailored to each category of clinical AI, giving hospitals an apples-to-apples comparison between similar vendors.

This is cool, but I’m a little skeptical. If Parachute uses AI agents to evaluate other models, who’s evaluating the AI agents? It’s hard to imagine it’s safe to entrust model validation and bias assessments to an automated system, especially in healthcare. Validating clinical AI is pretty complex between finding the right data, ensure event timings are accurate, simulating the model, etc. That’s why I’m guessing Parachute is a little less automated than the landing page makes it out to be, which is maybe a good thing. Regardless, this is cool. Hope you make AI in healthcare more safe.

That’s a great point. We don’t use AI agents to grade other models. Instead, we run in-house evaluations tailored to each category of clinical AI, giving hospitals an apples-to-apples comparison between similar vendors.

> That list of logos you all have - are those paying customers today?

Doesn't look like it. The first list of logos is standards bodies. The second list of logos is integrations.
