External healthcare AI trust infrastructure

The trust network for external healthcare AI.

One secure way for outside AI to identify itself, receive permission, access healthcare tools and data, execute approved work, and prove what happened.

Decision evidence

Owner, model, tool, purpose, policy, decision, and result recorded as one trusted event.

The cross-organization problem

The manufacturer does not own the hospital. The hospital does not own the agent.

Yet their systems need to work together. Sierra establishes the trusted identity, permission, connection, and evidence that lets an outside AI actor participate in a healthcare workflow.

Which AI is acting?

Identify the agent, application, model, owner, operator, and tools behind every request.

Is this action permitted?

Separate identity from authorization, then evaluate purpose and minimum-necessary access at runtime.

Can the transaction be proven?

Preserve the policy, decision, result, provenance, and risk context as an auditable event.

The Sierra trust network

Connect once. Establish trust across organizations.

Every request is tied to an organization, human authority, agent, purpose, permission, and destination before an approved action reaches healthcare.

External healthcare AI infrastructure

Discover, identify, authorize, connect, execute, and prove.

Security is the admission requirement. Sierra combines it with trusted connectivity and governed execution across organizational boundaries.

01

AI Inventory

Register external agents, applications, models, tools, owners, and deployment status.

02

Vendor & agent identity

Verify the chain of authority from organization and operator to agent, model, and tool.

03

AI Gateway

Route external AI activity through one healthcare-specific trust and enforcement boundary.

04

Policy engine

Evaluate purpose, permissions, data class, facility, and workflow before every action.

05

Runtime defense

Inspect behavior for prompt injection, tool misuse, data leakage, and unexpected destinations.

06

Trusted event ledger

Create evidence of who acted, why, under which policy, and with what result.

Healthcare policy at runtime

Identity is not permission.

An authenticated agent still needs a valid purpose, permitted data, approved tools, an authorized destination, and the right human or organization behind it. Sierra evaluates that context for every action.

Minimum necessary access

Prefer short-lived, scoped authorization for the current workflow over persistent vendor credentials.

01

Allow

Execute an action that satisfies identity, purpose, permission, and policy.

02

Deny

Stop an action that falls outside the approved workflow or trust chain.

03

Redact

Remove sensitive fields before the request reaches its destination.

04

Transform

Modify a request so it conforms to the receiving organization’s policy.

05

Require approval

Pause higher-risk activity for a named human decision-maker.

Trusted healthcare events

Every execution creates evidence.

Preserve who acted, what agent and model were used, why the action occurred, which data and tools were involved, which policy decided it, and what result followed.

Technology partnership

Healthcare trust infrastructure beneath every connection.

As a licensed Anchor Point distributor for MedTech, Sierra uses Anchor Point’s identity, policy, security, observability, and controlled-execution foundation at the trust boundary around healthcare’s third-party ecosystem.

Sierra for independent MedTech

Secure the agents. Put them to work.

Sierra also helps independent MedTech organizations deploy governed agents for cases, purchase orders, inventory, authorization, DME, CRM, contracts, and knowledge — with the gateway operating beneath the workflow.

Platform questions

How the trust boundary works.

Request a platform briefing
What does Sierra secure?+

Sierra is designed for AI systems operated outside a healthcare organization — including agents and applications from manufacturers, distributors, representatives, DME suppliers, and other third parties.

Is agent identity the same as permission?+

No. Sierra treats identity and authorization separately. A verified agent must still have an approved purpose, limited permissions, permitted data, and an authorized destination for each action.

What happens when an action is higher risk?+

The gateway can allow, deny, redact, or transform a request. It can also pause execution and require a named human to approve the action.

How does Sierra create accountability?+

Each action can produce a trusted event that records the actor, owner, model, tool, purpose, permission, policy, decision, result, provenance, and risk context.

Does Sierra still support MedTech operations?+

Yes. Sierra applies the same governed foundation to practical MedTech agents for cases, purchase orders, inventory, authorization, DME, CRM, contracts, and knowledge.
