Healthy AIClinical safety protocol
Safety boundary: keep all recommendations subject to qualified human verification. Do not use this protocol for diagnosis, treatment, triage, or emergency decisions.
PROTOCOL 02 / RISK REGISTER

Release-blocking risks

Contraindications block external evaluation. Missing evidence requires an owner, artifact, and reviewer disposition before handoff.

External evaluation is contraindicated

6 critical controls are open. Do not treat the weighted score as permission to proceed.

Clinical risk register

Status changes update every protocol route and persist locally.

10 RECORDS
R-01
BLOCKED

Medical limitation disclaimers

Disclaimers / critical

Add plain-language limitation copy to onboarding, AI output, summaries, exports, and handoff screens.

Consequence: Missing disclaimers can make prototype output look like medical guidance or an approved safety claim.

R-02
BLOCKED

Clinical risk classification

Clinical risk / critical

Classify the workflow, document excluded clinical scenarios, and route higher-risk use cases to qualified clinical and regulatory review.

Consequence: Unclassified clinical risk makes a low-stakes prototype look equivalent to a patient-impacting workflow.

R-03
BLOCKED

Escalation and emergency routing

Escalation / critical

Define escalation triggers, emergency copy, support ownership, and a hard stop for out-of-scope scenarios.

Consequence: Missing escalation creates a high-risk path where urgent users may stay inside the prototype.

R-04
BLOCKED

Named human review owner

Human review / critical

Name the reviewer, define their sign-off checklist, and require approval before any external pilot.

Consequence: No named reviewer means there is no accountable human gate for risky model behavior.

R-05
BLOCKED

Governance decision record

Governance / critical

Create a governance record with owners, intended-use boundaries, excluded uses, approval cadence, and change-control rules.

Consequence: Without governance records, teams can expand scope faster than reviewers can assess patient, privacy, or compliance risk.

R-06
BLOCKED

Privacy and data minimization

Privacy / critical

Document what data is allowed, what is prohibited, how it is stored, who can access it, and when it is deleted.

Consequence: Do not use real health data until privacy, retention, and access controls are explicitly documented.

R-07
MISSING

Evidence and test traceability

Evidence / high

Create an evidence log that ties claims to sources, test cases, failure examples, and reviewer notes.

Consequence: Missing evidence makes it impossible to explain why the prototype is ready for controlled evaluation.

R-08
MISSING

Validation dataset and slice coverage

Evidence / high

Define validation slices, sample minimums, acceptance thresholds, and reviewer notes for failures and borderline cases.

Consequence: Missing slice coverage can make readiness scores overstate safety for under-tested users or clinical contexts.

R-09
MISSING

Deployment monitoring gates

Deployment / high

Define staged rollout gates, production monitors, alert owners, rollback triggers, and post-launch review cadence.

Consequence: Without deployment monitoring, teams can detect risk too late or lack authority to pause a harmful release.

R-10
MISSING

Incident response and rollback

Incident response / high

Assign an incident owner, define severity levels, and connect feedback reports to the release-blocking review queue.

Consequence: Without incident response, the team may detect failures without a clear path to stop or remediate them.

Risk interpretation

Closing a register item records that evidence is present; it does not prove the evidence is sufficient. A qualified human reviewer must verify each artifact and may reopen any control.
