aceDiagnostic bias across underrepresented patient groups
Error rates remain unevenly studied across demographic groups.
AI-driven differential-diagnosis tools show omission and commission error patterns that haven't been evenly studied across race, age, or income groups — meaning the tool's blind spots may track existing healthcare gaps rather than closing them.
Even a perfectly debiased model would not fix the underlying disparity in whose cases get studied, digitized, and used for validation in the first place.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0009 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
