Strengthening AI Governance in Healthcare

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday clinical workflows, from documentation and decision support to operational efficiency.

That’s why we’re proud to share that Corti has achieved ISO/IEC 42001 certification, the international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).

What Is ISO 42001 and what does it mean for Corti?

ISO 42001 is the world's first international standard for AI Management Systems, setting out how organisations should govern AI responsibly across its entire lifecycle. In healthcare, where AI influences clinical decisions directly, that governance framework matters more than in almost any other sector.

The risks are real: algorithmic bias, model drift, opaque decision-making, and inconsistent outputs can all affect patient care.

Achieving ISO 42001 certification confirms that Corti operates under a formal AI governance framework designed to manage the unique risks and responsibilities associated with healthcare AI. For Corti, implementing this standard means:

• Strengthening risk management and transparency in how AI models are trained and used
• Ensuring human oversight and accountability across AI systems
• Establishing clear governance processes for AI development and deployment
• Continuous monitoring and improvement to ensure models remain reliable as data and clinical environments evolve
• Embedding ethical and regulatory considerations into product development

By embedding these principles into how we design and operate our technology, Corti ensures that AI systems are auditable, accountable, and aligned with the expectations of clinicians, regulators, and healthcare organisations.

Part of Our Broader Trust and Governance Framework

ISO/IEC 42001 is an important milestone in Corti’s broader commitment to responsible AI governance.

Alongside this certification, Corti aligns its operations with leading global standards and regulatory frameworks covering AI governance, security, privacy, and compliance, including:

• Information security standards (ISO 27001, ISO 27017, SOC 2 Type II, C5, Cyber Essentials Plus) that protect sensitive healthcare data 
• Privacy and data protection frameworks (GDPR, ISAE 3000, ISO 27018, HIPAA) that ensure patient information is handled responsibly
• Emerging AI governance frameworks (EU AI Act)

By integrating these standards into our engineering and product processes, we ensure that trust, safety, and reliability are built directly into Corti’s technology.

Ultimately, our goal is simple:
AI that clinicians can trust, and that patients benefit from.

Looking Ahead

As AI continues to reshape healthcare, governance will become just as important as innovation.

Regulatory expectations are already rising. The EU AI Act identifies healthcare AI as high-risk, and ISO 42001 is directly aligned with its compliance requirements.

ISO 42001 marks an important milestone in Corti’s journey, but it’s not the destination. We will continue to strengthen our governance practices, adopt leading standards, and work closely with partners, regulators, and healthcare providers to ensure AI is developed responsibly.

Because the future of healthcare AI must be both powerful and trustworthy.
