Investor Overview & Market Opportunity
Synod IntelliCare is building independent fairness auditing for clinical AI across hospital networks and software vendors.
The Unchecked Risk in EHR Clinical AI Deployments
Clinical AI adoption has reached an inflection point: in a 2024 American Hospital Association survey, 52.2% of U.S. hospitals used machine-learning-based predictive AI integrated with their EHR, 31.5% used generative AI, and 24.7% planned generative AI adoption within one year (Everson, Nong and Richwine, JAMA Network Open, 2025). Adoption is moving faster than most governance processes can evaluate subgroup performance.
As regulatory pressure mounts under HHS ACA Section 1557, Colorado SB24-205, and the EU AI Act, healthcare organizations face growing legal, financial and clinical questions about the AI they use.
Investment Highlights
- ✔ Focused Entry Point: Independent fairness auditing for the clinical AI already running in hospitals.
- ✔ Planned Revenue Model: Phase 1 retrospective audit engagements, followed by recurring platform licensing on our roadmap.
- ✔ Sidecar Retrospective Wedge: A scoped retrospective assessment lets a hospital begin without waiting for live EHR integration.
- ✔ Academic Collaboration: Connected Minds Pediatric Research Collaboration with York University and Université de Sherbrooke.
