Some Elion Vendor Profiles to Feature CHAI’s AI ‘Nutrition Labels’

Elion, a health IT market research platform, is partnering with the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI) by beta-launching a new feature: Abridged CHAI model cards now appear on select vendor profiles across its platform, with broader availability planned for later this year.

Elion’s research process combines buyer reviews, vendor interviews, and independent analysis. Earlier this year it released a report on AI Clinician Copilots.

The nonprofit CHAI has developed an Applied Model Card framework, and recently established its first Model Card registry to support the rapid growth of model cards, or ‘nutrition labels’ for health AI, used to simplify procurement among health systems and solution providers. Elion said CHAI’s model cards have created a more standard way to present foundational information about AI solutions, moving from Powerpoint presentations to evidence and value-based procurement.

Elion cofounder and CEO Bobby Guelich, announced this new functionality at the CHAI Innovation Summit this week. Elion said that providing availability of CHAI’s Model Cards through the Elion platform helps provider organizations quickly assess an AI model’s intended use, oversight processes, and key performance considerations—all in the context of Elion’s broader research and marketplace infrastructure.

“As demand for AI adoption accelerates, healthcare leaders need a shared language and set of standards to evaluate solutions responsibly,” said Guelich in a statement. “CHAI’s work in this area is foundational, and we’re excited to bring their model cards into the day-to-day workflows of technology decision-makers through Elion’s marketplace.”

“I am thrilled to see our health AI nutrition label advancing effective and responsible health AI,” said Brian Anderson, CHAI’s CEO, in a statement. “By integrating this with Elion, we are enabling health system AI solution evaluation and allowing decision-makers to easily access Model Cards. CHAI is driven by the expertise of our members and the feedback of our broader health ecosystem and the public. We look forward to working together to unlock the potential benefits of AI, on a foundation of trust, safety, and security."

CHAI model cards were designed to enhance transparency and accountability across the AI lifecycle. By displaying key elements of these cards on vendor profiles, Elion aims to bridge the gap between technical documentation and real-world procurement.
