Ozwell First to Achieve Drummond pDSI-Risk Certification for AI-Powered Health IT

DURHAM, NC, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Drummond, a trusted leader in health IT certification and compliance, is pleased to announce that Ozwell (a Medical Informatics Engineering, Inc. product), an innovator in ambient clinical documentation technology, has successfully completed Drummond’s newly launched predictive decision support interventions (pDSI)-Risk Certification program. This achievement demonstrates Ozwell’s commitment to developing dependable and responsible AI solutions for healthcare, grounded in robust risk management and clear regulatory alignment.

Drummond’s pDSI-Risk Certification program is tailored for AI developers, EHR vendors, and health IT innovators seeking to meet growing expectations around risk management for pDSI. The certification confirms that Ozwell’s AI platform meets key benchmarks related to intervention risk assessment and mitigation, which is a critical step in supporting the responsible use of AI in clinical care.

“Ozwell’s certification under the Predictive Decision Support Initiative reflects a core belief that has guided its development from day one,” said Doug Horner, CEO and Founder of Medical Informatics Engineering. “Clinicians didn’t go into medicine to fill out paperwork. Ozwell lifts that burden. It listens, documents, routes, and organizes quietly, intelligently, and in real time. We are not here to replace providers. We are here to restore their time, their energy, and their connection to care.”

Will Reiske, CTO and Co-founder of Ozwell, added, "Technology should not try to take the lead in a clinical encounter. Ozwell plays a supporting role. It is always on and always helpful, but never in the way. That is exactly why it became the first ambient AI tool certified under the Predictive Decision Support Initiative. It proves that AI can be powerful without being overpowering.”

As AI-powered pDSI continues to reshape healthcare delivery, conformance with Intervention Risk Management (IRM) and Source Attribute disclosure requirements has become essential for developers aiming to foster trust and ensure safety, by providing explainability and transparency for users of these solutions. Through the certification process, Drummond confirmed Ozwell’s alignment with pDSI transparency and risk management standards set by ASTP/ONC regulation § 170.315(b)(11)

“Certification from a trusted and impartial third-party like Drummond is a powerful indicator of an organization’s readiness to operate in a regulated, safety-first environment,” said John Valutkevich, Director of Programs at Drummond. “Ozwell’s participation in the pDSI-Risk program reflects its thoughtful approach to risk mitigation, transparency, and delivering innovation that meets both clinical and compliance expectations.”

The pDSI-Risk Certification program provides a pathway for modular and standalone AI solutions (including those outside the ONC Health IT Certification scope) to demonstrate alignment with industry-leading standards and principles for safe AI deployment. With this certification, Ozwell is well-positioned to expand its impact across healthcare settings while building stakeholder trust in its AI-driven medical assistant technology.
