NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AIgovernance–Elion, the healthcare technology research and intelligence platform for the AI era, announced today a new partnership with the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), an industry-led coalition committed to developing industry best practices and frameworks to further innovation, safety and security for health AI. As part of this partnership, Elion is beta-launching a new feature: Abridged CHAI model cards now appear on select vendor profiles across its platform.
To facilitate robust evaluation and accelerate adoption of successful AI solutions, CHAI developed an Applied Model Card framework, and recently established its first Model Card registry to support the rapid growth of model cards, or ‘nutrition labels’ for health AI, used to simplify procurement among health systems and solution providers. CHAI’s model cards have created a more standard way to present foundational information about AI solutions, moving from powerpoint presentations to evidence and value-based procurement.
Elion cofounder and CEO, Bobby Guelich, announced this new functionality at the CHAI Innovation Summit this week. Providing availability of CHAI’s Model Cards through the Elion platform helps provider organizations quickly assess an AI model’s intended use, oversight processes, and key performance considerations—all in the context of Elion’s broader research and marketplace infrastructure.
“As demand for AI adoption accelerates, healthcare leaders need a shared language and set of standards to evaluate solutions responsibly,” said Guelich. “CHAI’s work in this area is foundational, and we’re excited to bring their model cards into the day-to-day workflows of technology decision-makers through Elion’s marketplace.”
This integration represents the latest step in Elion’s mission to equip health systems with the data, tools, and guidance needed to evaluate and implement emerging technologies. The current version includes model cards for a limited set of vendor solutions, with broader availability planned later this year.
“I am thrilled to see our health AI nutrition label advancing effective and responsible health AI,” said Brian Anderson, CHAI’s CEO. “By integrating this with Elion, we are enabling health system AI solution evaluation and allowing decision-makers to easily access Model Cards. CHAI is driven by the expertise of our members and the feedback of our broader health ecosystem and the public. We look forward to working together to unlock the potential benefits of AI, on a foundation of trust, safety, and security.”
CHAI model cards were designed to enhance transparency and accountability across the AI lifecycle. By displaying key elements of these cards on vendor profiles, Elion aims to bridge the gap between technical documentation and real-world procurement. Learn more about CHAI model cards here.
