Clinical Rigor

Built to the standard a surgeon should demand.

Every process, every algorithm, every report template was designed by a practicing cardiac surgeon — not reverse-engineered from a textbook.

Our Methodology

Six pillars of clinical accuracy.

Pillar 01

Dual-Physician Heart Team

ACC/AHA Class I guidelines mandate Heart Team decision-making for complex cardiac cases. In practice, this rarely happens — especially at community hospitals where fewer than 10% have a formalized Heart Team process.

WhiteGloveMD makes it the default. An interventional cardiologist and cardiac surgeon independently review every case, then confer and produce a unified recommendation. Two perspectives. One definitive answer.

Pillar 02

STS National Database Benchmarking

Sentinel, our provider intelligence engine, queries publicly reported Society of Thoracic Surgeons outcomes data to match patients with the right surgeon — not the nearest surgeon.

Matching is based on procedure-specific volume, mortality rates, complication rates, and institutional quality metrics. A patient needing a complex mitral repair is matched to a surgeon with >95% repair rates and outcomes that exceed STS benchmarks — regardless of geography.

Pillar 03

Composite Risk Scoring

Spectra calculates risk using three validated models simultaneously: STS-PROM, EuroSCORE II, and the AATS Risk Calculator — each capturing different dimensions of surgical risk.

Risk is never presented as a single number in isolation. Every score includes confidence intervals, contextualization against national benchmarks, and a proprietary WGMD Composite that synthesizes all three models into a unified risk profile.

Pillar 04

Guideline-Referenced Recommendations

Command maps every treatment alternative to current ACC/AHA, ESC, and STS guideline recommendations with evidence classification.

Every recommendation carries a Class designation (I, IIa, IIb, III) and Level of Evidence (A, B, C). No recommendation exists without a citation trail linking back to the source guideline and the patient's specific clinical data that supports its application.

Pillar 05

AI Quality Assurance

Before any report is delivered, automated quality checks validate citation accuracy, section completeness, numerical consistency, and formatting compliance.

Cross-document discordance detection flags contradictions between cath reports and echo findings, between clinical notes and medication lists, between referred diagnoses and imaging data. Nothing slips through.

Pillar 06

Human Oversight — Always

AI generates the draft. Physicians review, edit, and sign. No report is delivered without a licensed physician's review and attestation.

The AI is a tool that amplifies physician judgment — it does not replace it. Every White Glove Insights™ Report carries the signatures of two world-class physicians who stand behind every word.

AI Transparency

What the AI does — and doesn't do.

Complete transparency about the role of artificial intelligence in our clinical workflow.

What Clintelligence\u2122 does

  • Ingests and normalizes medical records from multiple formats
  • Extracts clinical signals: hemodynamics, lab values, medications, imaging findings
  • Calculates composite risk scores using STS-PROM, EuroSCORE II, and AATS models
  • Maps treatment alternatives to ACC/AHA guideline evidence grades
  • Identifies surgeon and institution matches based on outcomes data
  • Generates draft report narrative and patient-facing translation

What it does NOT do

  • Make clinical decisions — that is the physician's role
  • Replace the Heart Team — it augments their capability
  • Operate without oversight — every output is physician-reviewed
  • Access patient data beyond the current case
  • Contact patients, physicians, or institutions
  • Override physician judgment or editorial changes

The physician-first principle

Every White Glove Insights\u2122 Report is generated by AI, reviewed by physicians, and signed by two world-class specialists. The AI accelerates the process. The physicians ensure the quality. The patient receives a definitive, defensible, guideline-referenced opinion — in 24 hours instead of 48 days.
