Healthcare professionals reviewing research together at a table
AI Blue Ribbon Collaborative

Independent expertise
for healthcare AI.

Clinical questions. Legal considerations. Policy decisions. CTeL brings experts together to help healthcare organizations navigate the integration of artificial intelligence.

A shared point of reference

New technology.
Enduring principles.

The AI Blue Ribbon Collaborative is an independent expert resource for the clinical, legal and regulatory questions that arise as AI becomes part of healthcare.

Like the early days of telehealth, advances in AI bring both possibility and uncertainty. The collaborative brings different disciplines into the same conversation, keeping the principles that guide medicine at the center of that work.
