Inside Gesund.ai: Multi-Stakeholder Ground Truth Orchestration

In clinical AI, models live or die by the quality of their ground truth. Yet annotation projects often fail quietly—misaligned readers, unclear consensus, inconsistent quality gates. These weaknesses remain invisible until the model reaches deployment, when errors are costly and trust is at stake.

Ground Truth Without Orchestration is a Silent Failure

At Gesund.ai, we believe that ground truthing must be auditable, scalable, and regulatory-ready from the start. Our platform was built to expose risks early, orchestrate multiple stakeholders, and transform labeling into a process that can withstand both scientific and regulatory scrutiny.

The Hidden Failure of Ground Truthing

Traditional annotation workflows break down for three reasons:

  • Siloed roles: Sponsors, QA leads, annotators, and compliance teams work in disconnected systems.

  • Subjective judgments: Consensus decisions happen over emails and gut checks, leaving no audit trail.

  • Reactive discovery: Disagreements and biases are only noticed after model training fails.

The result is an expensive “do-over” cycle that drains resources and undermines confidence in AI.

Why Multi-Stakeholder Orchestration Matters

A regulated AI model requires more than labels—it requires trustworthy labels, traceable processes, and reproducible decisions. Gesund.ai enables this by aligning every stakeholder around a single source of truth:

  • Sponsors monitor progress and risk transparently.

  • QA leads drive workflows with objective metrics.

  • Readers receive clear, bounded tasks.

  • Data scientists get clean, traceable data.

  • Compliance officers access full audit trails in one click.

This orchestration doesn’t just make projects smoother. It ensures that when regulators ask hard questions, the evidence is already in place.

Inside the Gesund.ai Platform

Our multi-stakeholder orchestration extends beyond dashboards—it embeds accountability into every step.

Annotation Hub

Projects are configured with role-based access, assignments, and team visibility. Analytics show reader performance and assignment completion at a glance.

Agreement and Metrics

Disagreements are quantified with Dice scores, ICC, and Hausdorff distance. Weak labels—like visceral fat in our demo—are exposed early for targeted adjudication.

Consensus as Workflow

Consensus isn’t an email thread. Outliers escalate automatically. Rationales are required. Experts resolve only true disagreements. Every mask is versioned and time-stamped.

Quality Gates

Objective thresholds stop phases before flawed data flows downstream. Gut checks are replaced by measurable criteria that preserve speed and predictability.

Audit and Compliance

One-click audit logs preserve SOP versions, timestamps, metrics at lock, and full lineage. The platform is built for GMLP-friendly validation and PCCP-aligned change control, ensuring inspection-readiness.

Strategic Value for AI in Healthcare

With this approach, organizations gain:

  • Regulatory-grade assurance that ground truthing stands up to FDA, MDR, and future AI Act inspections.

  • Operational efficiency, minimizing costly re-annotation cycles.

  • Predictable costs by limiting expert adjudication to true edge cases.

  • Trust and transparency across sponsors, scientists, and compliance teams.

Ground truthing is no longer the weak link in medical AI development. It becomes a governed, auditable, and collaborative process.

Gesund.ai turns ground truthing into a regulatory-grade process—transparent, efficient, and inspection-ready.

Ground truth shouldn’t be left to chance. If your AI program depends on annotations that will one day be scrutinized by regulators, your workflows need to be as rigorous as your models.
