OpenIRB

Use Case

Healthcare

Clinical AI, patient data, and medical workflows.

Healthcare AI demands a higher standard because the consequences touch safety, trust, dignity, access, and life itself. OpenIRB supports structured review of clinical AI, patient data, medical workflows, and research-adjacent systems.

Review questions

  • What clinical purpose does the system serve — diagnostic, therapeutic, administrative, operational, or research-adjacent?
  • What evidence supports safety and performance?
  • What patient populations were represented in validation?
  • What limitations are disclosed to clinicians and patients?
  • What role does the human clinician retain?
  • What data and consent posture apply?
  • What adverse events or performance drift trigger review?
  • What regulatory, quality, or institutional review requirements apply?
