Services · AI model development

Curation and AI model development.

Custom AI models for clinical concept extraction, variable imputation, and clinical inference, built on rigorously curated reference standard data and engineered for measurable, regulatory-grade accuracy.

What we deliver

Models that turn medical records into research-ready variables.

Using the Verantos Curation Platform, our team builds and validates models tailored to your study variables, with accuracy as the headline metric, not an afterthought.

Concept extraction

Identify clinical concepts from structured and unstructured records: diagnoses, medications, biomarkers, findings.

Variable imputation

Fill missing values with statistically and clinically grounded estimates derived from the full record.

Clinical inference

Derive complex variables that require synthesizing evidence across the record: severity, response, eligibility.

Why accuracy leads

Model accuracy is the product.

In pharmacoepidemiology, model error becomes measurement error, and measurement error becomes biased evidence.

Every Verantos model is evaluated against a held-out reference standard and reported with the metrics regulators and reviewers expect.

Ground truth · reference standard

Dual-read, adjudicated records the model never trained on.

Output · model predictions

The trained model reads the same records, alone.

FDA AI guidance Verantos develops AI models in accordance with FDA AI guidance, with accuracy as the headline metric. From reference standard creation through validation, every model is built for the rigor that regulatory and scientific review demands.
How it’s delivered

A rigorous reference standard process.

Models are only as trustworthy as the data they’re trained on. Our reference standard process uses two independent clinician annotators per record and only accepts labels that achieve high inter-rater reliability, ensuring training data is faithful to clinical truth.

Medical record
Annotator A

Clinician annotator

Independent labeling

Annotator B

Clinician or AI agent

Independent labeling · accelerated option

IRR + adjudication
Inter-rater reliability check: failures route back for adjudication. Only labels that clear the threshold move forward.
Accepted reference standard
The data every model is trained on, and judged against.
Delivery options

Choose the pace of model development.

Both options use the same reference standard rigor and the same acceptance criteria. The accelerated option introduces an AI agent as one of the two annotators, increasing throughput while preserving inter-rater reliability requirements.

Standard

Dual clinician annotation

Two clinician annotators independently label every record in the reference sample. Adjudication and IRR thresholds gate the reference standard before any model sees it.

  • Highest assurance for novel or high-risk variables
  • Ideal for regulatory submissions
  • Establishes the gold standard for all comparisons
Accelerated

Clinician + AI agent annotation

One clinician annotator paired with an AI agent annotator. Same inter-rater reliability gate, dramatically faster reference standard creation and model iteration.

  • Faster time-to-model for large variable sets
  • Same IRR acceptance threshold as standard
  • Clinician retains adjudication authority
Engagement

From variable definition to validated model.

Platform

Built on the Verantos Curation Platform. Every engagement runs on the same labeling, training, and validation infrastructure that powers our curated data sets.
