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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
From standards to institutional practice
TTIC exists to close the gap between standards being written and standards becoming institutional practice.
- Standards. IEEE/UL 2933 TIPPSS and ANSI/HSI 2800:2025 define what trustworthy AI governance requires.
- Institutional Adoption. A health system or medtech organization commits the standard into its own governance structure.
- Operationalization. The standard becomes procedure: owned roles, defined controls, and a place in the deployment workflow.
- Evidence. The organization produces the record that the controls are actually operating, not just documented.
- Accountability. Boards, executives, and capital markets can act on that evidence with confidence.

The record
TTIC's output is measurable. These are the markers of an organization that executes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
