AI should support clinical judgment without making accountability ambiguous.

AI is starting to help with decisions about people's health, in hospitals, and in pro sports, where teams use data about players' bodies to decide who plays and when. Darwin by Medigram is the system that checks the AI: it scores every decision on six kinds of trustworthiness and keeps a permanent record, so whether the stakes are a patient's care or a player's career, nothing happens unchecked and there's always proof. Designed to work on mobile, where the work happens.

For medicine, trustworthy AI is not just a model-performance question. The system must make clear what AI was allowed to contribute, who remained clinically accountable, when escalation was required, and what evidence exists if the decision is questioned later.

1
Known modelThe clinician can know which AI supported the decision.
2
Explicit roleThe system states what AI may and may not contribute.
3
Clinical authorityA responsible human remains named and accountable.
4
Ongoing checksThe system keeps being tested after deployment.
5
Durable recordThe contemporaneous evidence is preserved.

Why medicine has a different trust threshold

Clinical work can produce irreversible consequences. TTIC’s origin story argues that medicine already has established trust machinery in accreditation and published literature: trust depends on how a conclusion was produced, not only on the conclusion itself.

What Darwin changes for the physician

The clinical recommendation is only one field inside a governed decision record. The architecture also captures the model, policy, governance context, security controls, verification and evidence supporting the decision.

Why this architecture

Infrastructure should absorb the seams, not the physician

When AI-related responsibilities are split across technology vendors, IT, security, compliance, and administration, the physician at the point of care is often the one left to notice when something doesn’t add up, and to absorb the consequences if it doesn’t. This architecture is built so that governance of those seams is deliberate and upstream, not something clinicians have to compensate for in the moment.

Why Sherri and the Medigram team

That design reflects work done across standards, architecture, engineering, security, and evidence together, so a finding in one area (a testing result, a boundary condition) changed decisions in the others without waiting on a handoff. The intent is for that discipline to live in the infrastructure itself, so physicians can rely on defined boundaries and preserved evidence rather than becoming the integration layer for gaps another system left open.

What happens when inputs are insufficient

Darwin is designed to preserve the governance record even when the inputs do not support a recommendation. The result is visible evidence of uncertainty or validation failure rather than silence.

The practical promise

If a decision is reviewed three days or three years later, the physician should not have to reconstruct the situation from memory, screenshots and email. The contemporaneous record should already exist.
