Parachute: Evaluate, Deploy, and Monitor Clinical AI

Hey everyone!

We’re Aria & Tony, co-founders of Parachute – the end-to-end governance infrastructure that helps hospitals adopt AI safely and at scale.

TL;DR:

Parachute helps health systems evaluate, deploy, and monitor every AI tool they touch – whether it’s an Epic plug-in, vendor model, or in-house imaging model.

Why we built this

During our time spent deploying AI at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC), we kept seeing the same issues:

• 2,000+ clinical AI tools have hit the market
• New rules (HTI-1, Colorado AI Act, CA SB 3030, White House AI Action Plan) demand auditable proof of safety, equity, and efficacy
• Lean IT teams can’t possibly vet and watch every model, and a single failure can cost lives and trigger seven-figure settlements

Great innovations die in pilot hell because the infrastructure to deploy AI tools simply does not exist.

That’s why we built Parachute and why CUIMC now uses it to track live models in real time.

🪂 How Parachute works

1. Vendor discovery and vetting
AI agents map the hospital’s gaps and goals to the best AI tools on the market, while our review engine flags any compliance issues in vendor documentation.

2. State-of-the-art benchmarking and evaluations
Our automated scoring and stress testing helps decision makers identify the best-fit options.

3. Real-time observability
Once a tool is adopted, Parachute monitors it from inception through post-deployment. We automate real-time tracking of performance, drift, and bias – alerting you the moment any metric slips below threshold.

4. Immutable audit trail

Every approval, test, change, and runtime metric around a model is documented and audit-ready for regulators.
