About TTIC

Built to govern
what others only talk about

TTIC is not a conference, a nonprofit, or an association. It is a private consortium of practitioners who write the standards, publish the research, and hold the governance roles that define trustworthy AI in healthcare.

Definition

About TTIC

TTIC is the independent strategic intelligence and decision infrastructure for boards and C-suite leaders governing consequential AI, and for the investors who fund it. We provide the foresight, evidence, standards, and decision architecture that give accountable leaders clarity to exercise their own authority. TTIC brings together practitioners and investors across medicine, cybersecurity, engineering, standards, law, operations, and finance.

"Effective AI governance is where clinical value and financial value converge. For health systems, that means balance sheet protection, stronger insurance underwriting, and bond rating defense. AI capability only delivers on valuation when governance infrastructure is built to earn and hold trust at the bedside and on the balance sheet."
TTIC Core Thesis
Scope

What TTIC owns.
And what it does not.

TTIC equips accountable leaders. We do not substitute for institutional authority. Implementation consulting, workforce development, organizational change management, and local deployment decisions remain the responsibility of institutions and their chosen partners.

In Scope

TTIC gives health system and medtech executives and their technical leadership teams the standards, the operational metrics, the vendor accountability framework, and the practitioner evidence that governance works under adversarial conditions. What they do with that inside their organizations is their work, not TTIC's.

Out of Scope

Change management, clinical adoption strategy, workforce development, and implementation consulting. Those belong to health systems and their operational partners.

TTIC defines the standard. Operationalizing it is the health system's work.

TTIC provides guidance and clarity but does not operate or execute for members or partner companies.

TTIC does not provide clinical validation, clinical trials, regulatory approval, clinical implementation, workforce training, or organizational change management. TTIC’s certification pathway, currently in early access, combines behavioral verification with TIPPSS governance screening; certification is issued through TTIC’s governance review. It is not a determination of clinical validity or clinical effectiveness for any clinical use.

TTIC does not perform or certify clinical validation. It clarifies how clinical validation relates to technical assurance, governance, and institutional accountability and directs practitioners to appropriate clinical, scientific, and regulatory authorities.

How TTIC Determines Scope

TTIC’s scope originates in IEEE/UL 2933 TIPPSS and TTIC’s established responsibilities: trustworthy technology principles, definitions, technical assurance, and the governance needed to operationalize TIPPSS. TTIC identifies adjacent disciplines only where a boundary must be explained to prevent TIPPSS or TTIC’s work being misunderstood or overstated. A TTIC definition is not a claim of TTIC jurisdiction. Where established authority resides elsewhere, TTIC points practitioners to that authority rather than recreating its work. The existence of an unresolved industry gap does not, by itself, place that gap within TTIC’s scope.

See the full scope model on Verification, Validation & Evidence for AI.

Origin

Where TTIC came from

TTIC originated from a Taylor & Francis-commissioned book series on mobile medicine and advanced health technology. What began as a publishing initiative quickly became apparent as something more: a network of practitioners who were not just writing about governance. They were executing it.

Co-founded by Sherri Douville and Mitch Parker, TTIC formalized the collaboration between authors, standards bodies, health system leaders, and technology executives who were already doing the work. The consortium gave that work an institutional home.

TTIC's standards authorship spans IEEE/UL 2933 TIPPSS, ANSI/HSI 2800:2025, and a cross-standard execution model integrating NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and the OWASP GenAI Security framework. These are not positions on paper. They are active governance roles held by TTIC leadership.

Everything TTIC does is decided and inspired by what is right for patients and clinicians. Policy and standards are tools. Patient and clinician outcomes are the mission.

What TTIC Is
A Private Practitioner Consortium
By-invitation only. Not an open community, not a vendor network. A working group of executives with real governance accountability in healthcare AI.
What TTIC Is Not
Not a Conference. Not a Vendor. Not a Nonprofit.
TTIC has no product to sell, no booth to staff, and no membership fee. Participation is earned through demonstrated contribution to the field.
What TTIC Produces
Standards, Books, and Governance Frameworks
Six published works across Taylor & Francis, Springer, and Artech House. Two active standards with ANSI and IEEE. Frameworks adopted by CHIME and enterprise health systems.
Why It Matters
AI Governance is Now a Financial Issue
Bond rating agencies, insurance underwriters, and hospital boards are beginning to require documented AI governance. TTIC is the body building those standards before the mandate arrives.
Execution

From standards to institutional practice

TTIC exists to close the gap between standards being written and standards becoming institutional practice.

  1. Standards. IEEE/UL 2933 TIPPSS and ANSI/HSI 2800:2025 define what trustworthy AI governance requires.
  2. Institutional Adoption. A health system or medtech organization commits the standard into its own governance structure.
  3. Operationalization. The standard becomes procedure: owned roles, defined controls, and a place in the deployment workflow.
  4. Evidence. The organization produces the record that the controls are actually operating, not just documented.
  5. Accountability. Boards, executives, and capital markets can act on that evidence with confidence.

The people who built the standards

TTIC's co-founders hold dual authority: they write the standards and deploy them. That combination is rare and intentional.

Founder & Chair, TTIC  ·  CEO, Medigram  ·  Co-Chair, Trust and Identity Subgroup for IEEE/UL 2933

Sherri Douville is CEO of Medigram and Founder and Chair of the Trustworthy Technology & Innovation Consortium (TTIC), a non-commercial standards consortium of practitioners and investors across medicine, cybersecurity, engineering, standards, law, operations, and finance. She co-authored ANSI/HSI 2800:2025, the Hospital AI Operations Governance standard, leading the TTIC contribution, and serves as Trust and Identity Subgroup Co-Chair for IEEE/UL 2933:2024.

Co-Founder, TTIC  ·  CISO, IU Health  ·  Vice Chair, IEEE/UL 2933

Converts cybersecurity and technical strategy into operational metrics, driving the operational foundation that data and AI require for long-term success. Helped drive the work at IU Health referenced by CHIME as a role model for third-party AI governance: the standard that anchors TTIC's framework. Pushes the leading edge of efficiency and productivity in cybersecurity and AI at the institution, regional, and industry level.

Network

A network built around functions, not titles

TTIC’s network is not a membership roster assembled for prestige or networking. It is organized around the institutional functions required to move trustworthy technology from a published standard through institutional adoption to accountable operation.

  • Clinical Medicine
  • Health-System Operations
  • Cybersecurity
  • Engineering
  • AI Security
  • Research
  • Standards
  • Law & Governance
  • Finance
  • Executive Leadership

Each function sits inside a different institutional structure in ordinary practice. TTIC is where they operate inside the same structure instead, on the same standard, against the same evidence. That structural integration, not prestige or networking, is the differentiator.
