CTA honors RadSite and Trajectory Health AI leaders for AI healthcare standards work

The Consumer Technology Association recognized Garry Carneal and Dr. Thomas Wilson for helping lead standards development for artificial intelligence in healthcare. Their work centers on benchmarks for verifying, validating and governing predictive health AI tools as adoption accelerates across clinical settings.

Why it matters: - The CTA awards highlight growing pressure to set common rules for healthcare AI before predictive tools spread further across clinical workflows. - Standards for verification, validation, monitoring and trustworthiness can affect how providers evaluate AI performance and whether patients and clinicians can rely on the results. - The recognition also elevates independent standards work at a moment when healthcare AI scrutiny is increasing.

What happened: - The Consumer Technology Association honored Garry Carneal, JD, MA, and Thomas Wilson, PhD, DrPH, for leadership in establishing technical standards for artificial intelligence in healthcare. - Dr. Wilson, co-founder and chief epidemiologist of Trajectory Health AI, received the CTA Technology Leadership Award. - Carneal, president and CEO of RadSite and co-founder of Trajectory Health AI, received the CTA Technology Achievement Award. - CTA presented the awards through its annual Technology & Standards Awards Program. - CTA recognized both leaders for their work guiding the R13 WG1 Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Working Group. - Carneal chairs the working group, and Dr. Wilson serves as a primary technical contributor.

The details: - The working group helped develop ANSI/CTA-2135: Performance Verification and Validation for Predictive Health AI Solutions, published in September 2025. - The working group also developed CTA-2136: Operations and Monitoring of Predictive Health AI Solutions, published in September 2026. - The group is now working to revise ANSI/CTA-2090, The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: Trustworthiness. - CTA’s awards are peer-nominated and are designed to recognize industry pioneers who drive consensus and excellence across complex technology sectors. - Dr. Wilson said independent verification and validation are cornerstones of trust in healthcare AI. - Carneal said the CTA process helps turn technical consensus into actionable standards. - CTA’s 2026 Leadership Awards details are available through the awards announcement.

Between the lines: - The awards suggest CTA is treating healthcare AI governance as a standards problem, not just a product-development problem. - The focus on benchmarking and monitoring signals that post-deployment oversight is becoming as important as initial model performance. - The recognition of both a standards chair and a technical contributor points to a collaborative effort built around consensus rather than a single vendor approach.

What's next: - The working group will continue revising ANSI/CTA-2090 as healthcare AI standards evolve. - Continued publication and adoption of CTA standards could shape how developers, providers and evaluators assess predictive health AI systems. - RadSite and Trajectory Health AI are likely to keep positioning their work around transparency, accountability and evidence-based evaluation.

The bottom line: - CTA is signaling that healthcare AI needs clear, testable standards — and RadSite and Trajectory Health AI are now among the people helping define them.
