What Does the Ask Sage-DHA Agreement Enable?
The enterprise-wide agreement allows clinicians, medical researchers and other military healthcare professionals to use Ask Sage’s generative AI platform to facilitate operations and accelerate the decision-making process across DHA in support of the agency’s mission, the company said Monday.
“Integrating Ask Sage’s secure, model-agnostic GenAI capabilities enables DHA to responsibly improve efficiency, enhance decision-making, and strengthen both patient care and operational performance—without ever compromising the strict data protection standards our mission demands,” said Thomas Patrick Flanders, chief information officer at the DHA and program executive officer for medical systems.
What Is Ask Sage’s Generative AI Platform?
Ask Sage’s generative AI platform has Impact Level 5, or IL5, authorization to process protected health information, or PHI. The company’s offering supports audio, text and speech-driven workflows and is designed to deliver insights without retraining on sensitive data.
“This agreement reflects a shared commitment to bringing secure, open, and scalable GenAI to the frontline of military healthcare. Our IL5 PHI authorization will be critical in giving clinicians and support teams secure, real-time insights so they can spend less time digging for information and more time delivering the best care possible,” said Nicolas Chaillan, founder and CEO of Ask Sage.
