Responsible AI

Responsible AI for heart health

Hello Heart uses responsible AI to deliver a more proactive and personalized approach to heart health, with clinical guardrails, privacy protections, clinician oversight, and client control built in.

Why responsible AI matters in heart health

People are already using AI for health advice. The problem is that most of these tools are not designed specifically for cardiovascular care, may rely on broad public data, and may not understand the member’s context, privacy needs, or clinical risks.

Hello Heart is building a safer alternative: responsible AI designed for heart health, supported by clinical expertise and defined safety boundaries.

How Hello Heart uses AI

24/7 support with Nia
Nia, Hello Heart’s heart health chatbot, helps members understand blood pressure readings, medications, and everyday heart health questions between clinical visits.
Personalized guidance and risk flags
AI and data science capabilities help read member health data, patterns, and behaviors to surface personalized guidance and flag elevated risk profiles for review or escalation before a situation becomes urgent.
Smarter medication adherence
AI can help identify when a member may not have the right medication routine or may need additional support, creating an opportunity for clinical pharmacist review through Hello Meds.
More relevant member experiences
AI-enabled features can help make education, reminders, and coaching feel more timely and personal, while staying within defined workflows and safety rules.

How we use AI responsibly

Built for safety
Hello Heart’s AI is designed to operate within defined guardrails. Nia does not diagnose conditions, change medications, or replace physician judgment.
Human experts in the loop
Licensed clinicians, pharmacists, and medical experts help define workflows, review quality, and guide ongoing improvement. When AI surfaces a potential issue, human expertise remains central to the next step.
Workflow-constrained design
Hello Heart separates conversational support from clinical logic. AI helps members ask questions and understand information, while clinical guidance is routed through defined workflows with safety rules.
Continuous evaluation
Hello Heart evaluates AI quality and safety through clinician-developed benchmarks, automated monitoring, and ongoing review to help maintain high standards over time.
Privacy by design
Member data is protected and used to support the member experience. Hello Heart does not sell member data, and client/member privacy remains core to how AI-enabled features are designed and deployed.

Client choice and control

Hello Heart gives clients flexibility in how AI-enabled features are introduced for their population. Organizations can adopt AI at their own pace and choose which features to enable based on their policies, workforce needs, and internal readiness.

Clients who prefer a more conservative rollout can begin with Hello Heart’s connected devices, app, and digital coaching, then turn on additional AI-enabled features when ready.

This approach gives organizations control while still giving members access to proactive, personalized heart health support.

The rigor behind Nia

Hello Heart’s Medical Affairs team plays a central role in helping ensure Nia is developed and deployed responsibly for cardiovascular support. Nia is trained and guided by clinicians using broadly accepted, evidence-based cardiovascular guidance and is designed to provide support between clinical visits while operating within clear safety boundaries.

Nia helps members better understand blood pressure, medications, and heart health behaviors without diagnosing conditions, changing treatment plans, or replacing physician judgment. Hello Heart’s approach separates conversational language from clinical logic, helping make guidance more predictable, auditable, and safe.

Developed with cardiovascular expertise and informed by evidence-based guidance, including collaboration with leading heart-health organizations such as the ACC and AHA.

What AI does not replace

AI can make support more continuous, more personalized, and more proactive. It cannot replace physicians, pharmacists, clinical judgment, or the trust people place in their care teams.

At Hello Heart, AI is built to enhance the care experience — not to take humans out of it.
