Mandate
The Ethics Council exists to provide independent ethical review of:
- Clinical AI models with material effect on care decisions.
- Data governance practices — consent architecture, residency, secondary use.
- Edge cases in deployment where institutional, clinical, and patient interests may conflict.
- Policy positions Veronara takes in public — op-eds, policy papers, ministerial contributions.
- Institutional response to incidents with ethical dimension.
Membership
The Ethics Council consists of five to seven named members drawn from clinical ethics, health policy, data ethics, patient advocacy, and academic medicine. Members are independent of Veronara's executive leadership; at least half are external to the company.
Members are named on this page upon public confirmation. Interim ethical review is conducted by the founding clinical and policy leadership with an external clinical ethicist named per review.
Cadence
The Ethics Council meets quarterly on scheduled cadence and ad hoc in response to material incidents or decisions. Meeting minutes are summarized and published — redacted only where institutional confidentiality or patient privacy requires.
Recommendations and records
Ethics Council recommendations are recorded and addressed by Veronara's executive leadership. Recommendations that are not adopted are recorded with reason, preserving institutional accountability.
