Metrics Made Meaningful
Validara Health bridges the gap between healthcare AI innovation and clinical reality. Founded by physicians and technology experts, we provide comprehensive evaluation services to ensure AI healthcare tools are safe, effective, and truly valuable in clinical practice.
​
We believe that healthcare AI must be evaluated through the lens of clinical practice, not just technical metrics. Our mission is to ensure new AI technologies enhance rather than complicate patient care by providing rigorous, clinically-grounded validation services.
​
Healthcare AI lacks standardized, clinically relevant evaluation frameworks:
Fragmented validation processes slow development and limit comparability
Unclear performance benchmarks lead to overhyped or underutilized AI tools
Misaligned expectations between technical and clinical stakeholders
No human baseline comparisons to provide real-world context
Regulatory uncertainty with evolving requirements for AI tools
​
Validara Health provides comprehensive, physician-led evaluation services for healthcare AI. Unlike traditional technical evaluations, we assess healthcare AI tools within their full clinical context.​
Quick-turn comparisons of physician and AI system performance for meaningful context
Clinician review of generative AI outputs to identify critical clinical issues
Clinically relevant metric recommendations
Standardized documentation assessments for regulatory and stakeholder needs
Risk analysis to identify and mitigate clinically significant issues​
Assistance with AI governance processes
​
AI developers seeking to validate and improve their solutions
Healthcare systems evaluating AI tools for implementation
Investors conducting technical due diligence
​
Large physician review network for gold-standard comparisons
Clinical insights to focus on the metrics that customers will find meaningful
Exclusive focus on healthcare AI validation
Practical approaches to clinical workflows and constraints
Bespoke ongoing support for product and validation needs
​​
Our team combines deep clinical experience with technical expertise in AI evaluation. We understand both the complexities of clinical practice and the technical nuances of AI systems. This unique perspective allows us to provide evaluations that matter to healthcare organizations, clinicians, and ultimately patients.
​
Our founder, Dr. Sarah Gebauer, brings a unique perspective to healthcare AI evaluation, combining active clinical practice with deep expertise in artificial intelligence and system evaluation. As a practicing anesthesiologist and AI evaluation expert, she understands firsthand how new technologies impact clinical workflows and patient care.
​
After graduating from Stanford Medical School, Dr. Gebauer recognized the growing need for clinically-grounded AI evaluation. She completed additional training in Clinical Informatics and developed expertise in AI system evaluation methodologies, particularly focusing on safety, clinical relevance, and real-world utility.​
