Safety & architecture

Put deterministic safeguards around probabilistic AI.

CelestyxAI's target architecture separates safety-critical policy logic from language-model assistance. The design goal is not to make an LLM authoritative, but to constrain where it is useful and make the resulting workflow inspectable.

Target control stack
1 · Deterministic policy layerExplicit clinical and operational constraints remain authoritative.
2 · Bounded AI orchestrationModel assistance is scoped to defined tasks with structured inputs and outputs.
3 · Schema validationOutputs are checked against expected structure before downstream use.
4 · Professional reviewHuman validation remains part of the intended clinical workflow.
Design principles

Clinical AI should fail visibly, not silently.

01

Authority separation

Safety-critical rules should not depend solely on a generative model reproducing them correctly from memory.

02

Bounded generation

Use LLMs for narrow, explicit tasks and require outputs that conform to defined schemas.

03

Auditability

Track relevant model, prompt, policy, version and validation context so outputs can be reviewed after the fact.

04

Human override

Professionals must be able to correct or reject the system's proposed structure or synthesis.

05

Data minimization

Design around the minimum operational data required and align retention with the institutional use case.

06

Continuous evaluation

Model and workflow changes should trigger re-evaluation rather than assuming a one-time benchmark remains valid.

Interoperability

Structured exchange is part of the architecture, not an afterthought.

CelestyxAI is being designed with FHIR-oriented exchange in mind so intake data can eventually move through institutional systems in a structured and governed way. This is a target architecture direction, not a claim that a production FHIR integration is already deployed.

Hallucination

Generated content may be fluent but unsupported. Critical constraints should therefore not live only inside the model.

Prompt injection

Untrusted text can attempt to alter model behaviour. Inputs, tools and model privileges must remain bounded.

Model drift

Model versions change. Performance assumptions must be version-specific and revalidated.

Workflow mismatch

A technically strong model can still be unsafe if inserted into the wrong clinical role or escalation pathway.

Automation bias

Interface design must not encourage clinicians to accept generated suggestions without appropriate review.

Incomplete traceability

Safety review becomes difficult when the policy, prompt, model and user action cannot be reconstructed.

Evidence

Our architecture direction is informed by current clinical-AI safety research.
