WHY TRUST ALTO

Alto is built safety-first: clinical automation never at the expense of data sovereignty or regulatory compliance.

Safe by architecture, regulated by design.

We don't just meet standards. We build to them.

CE Class I Medical Device

Registered with the MHRA in Northern Ireland as Software as a Medical Device: rigorous clinical evaluation and post-market surveillance, unlike unregulated black-box AI.

Integrated Management System

A quality management system covering MDR, the EU AI Act, GDPR and DCB clinical requirements: documented, auditable, continuously reviewed.

Independent validation

through academic research partnerships, a clinical advisory board, and ongoing evaluation with Health Innovation Hub Ireland. [Link: Clinical Integrity]

Cyber Essentials Plus certified

Government-backed certification of our technical security controls, independently assessed and held current.

Example 1 How we handle data is as important as the data itself.

Zero-Training Policy

No customer data is used to train our foundational models. Your data stays yours.

GDPR and Data Sovereignty

Compliant with UK and EU GDPR. Alto acts as a Data Processor; your organisation retains full ownership and control of patient information.

Data Minimisation

Only the clinical markers required for vetting, appropriateness and prioritisation are extracted.

Localised Cloud Hosting

AWS Dublin regional infrastructure keeps data within your jurisdiction.

Transparency at every step.

Dual AI Human-in-the-Loop Architecture

Every output independently audited by the Judge before it influences a clinical recommendation.

Built-in Quality Assurance

Every clinical extraction links to its source document: a 1:1 audit trail for the clinician in charge..

Field-Level Confidence

A confidence rating on every extraction, making uncertainty visible.

Explainable AI

Every recommendation carries transparent reasoning drawn from the referral document. No black-box results.

Privacy by Design

Data minimisation, purpose limitation and access control embedded at system level.l.

Redundant security layers to protect the clinical workflow.

Encryption at Every Stage

Data is encrypted using AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit.

Access Control

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) ensure only authorised personnel interact with clinical data.

Infrastructure

Alto runs on AWS with zero-downtime architecture and regional data hosting.

The Blackrock Protocol: Algorithmic safety before live deployment.

Every patient cohort has unique edges, so every deployment moves through the same staged validation:e:

Synthetic data. Our internal medics build realistic referrals and test the system in a controlled environment.
Historic data. Performance measured against the hospital’s own historic referrals.
Shadow mode. Alto runs alongside the existing process on live data, every field checked; nothing is pushed live.
Supported live deployment. Only once shadow mode is signed off do we move to a live, supported deployment.
