Transparent AI Proven in the ICU

CalmWave has already reduced non-actionable alarms by 47% in live deployments with AI that shows its rationale, never auto-implements, and keeps clinicians fully in control.

MEET TRANSPATENT AI

What Makes AI Transparent

Transparent AI means no black boxes, no blind spots. CalmWave shows the logic behind every recommendation and defers final action to clinicians. It’s how hospitals get decision support they can trust and governance they can stand behind.

WHY IT MATTERS

Designed for Clinical Judgment, Not Automation

CalmWave is designed to support clinical judgment, not replace it. Every recommendation includes a clear explanation clinicians can review in under 10 seconds – grounded in structured data like vitals, staffing, EHR activity, and alarm frequency. CalmWave confirms patient stability and checks for hidden risk before surfacing any change, never applying them directly.

Every recommendation is:

Grounded in structured hospital data, not generative predictions

Validated by real-time and historical context

Logged and visible to clinical leadership for QA and safety review

Designed to inform clinicians, not automate care

Every Recommendation Must Clear Five Safety Gates

Before any threshold recommendation is surfaced, CalmWave confirms patient safety and operational context. Each insight must pass five clinical checks to ensure it’s timely, valid, and trustworthy.

1

Patient vital signs are stable

2

No recent medications or interventions

3

No threshold change 
in the past 3 hours

4

Alarm occurred 3+ times in 
the last 15 minutes

5

No outlier trends or signs of hidden instability

Only when all five gates are cleared does the system surface a CalmWave Optimized (CWO) recommendation, visible in the UI and always routed to a human for review.

AI That Answers to Hospitals

CalmWave is built with the same safety mindset as the hospital systems it serves. Every model is reviewed before deployment, validated continuously, and shaped by real-world clinical feedback.

Visible Logic

Every recommendation includes supporting data and rationale.

Clinical Oversight

Final decisions always remain with human experts.

Safety Guardrails

Models are blocked from surfacing changes unless all checks are met.

Co-Development

Built alongside ICU nurses, biomed teams, and clinical ops leaders.

This framework ensures CalmWave enhances decision-making without compromising safety, trust, or clinical alignment.

A Full Record: Every Patient, Action, and Rationale

CalmWave logs every recommendation, clinician response, and incident outcome, creating a defensible, clinician-verified record that supports internal QA, incident review, and Joint Commission standards.

Governance That Doesn’t Stop At Deployment

Every CalmWave model is vetted by CMOs, CNOs, and ICU advisors before deployment. It’s then audited quarterly for accuracy, bias, and drift – with results reviewed by both technical and clinical leaders. 

It doesn’t end there: model improvements are shaped by frontline nurse and physician feedback to keep insights clinically relevant and operationally safe.

Security That Meets – and Exceeds – Hospital Standards

CalmWave doesn’t just meet enterprise requirements. We follow hospital-grade protocols across data handling, access control, and system monitoring.

SOC 2 Type IIcertified, independently audited annually
HIPAA-compliantinfrastructure with full encryption in transit and at rest
PHI de-identifiedduring model training; recontextualized only inside hospital environments
Continuous monitoringfor model drift, anomalies, and system uptime
Role-based access controlonly authorized clinical leaders can approve changes

THE PROCESS

What Transparent AI Delivers
That Black Box AI Doesn’t

Hospitals need AI they can explain, control, and audit. Here’s what that looks like with CalmWave, compared to traditional black-box models.

CalmWave Transparent AI

Black-Box AI

Clarity

Every insight includes supporting rationale and evidence

No rationale shown; logic often hidden

Control

Clinicians review and decide – AI never bypasses human input

May auto-implement without human validation

Audibility

Logged, time-stamped, and ready for clinical and regulatory audits

Inconsistent logging; difficult to audit

Clinical Design

Informed by frontline teams – nurses, engineers, physicians

Rarely designed for workflow realities

Consistency

Same inputs = same outputs; behavior is traceable

Prone to variable responses and hallucinated logic
