Carna Health CTO details acceptance test-driven development for clinical software

Carna Health's CTO, Boris Berat, outlines a deliberate engineering approach for building clinical software in the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. The core challenge is ensuring behavioral consistency amidst constant changes in guidelines, data quality, and infrastructure across different global settings. Berat emphasizes the use of acceptance test-driven development, where every rule is explicitly defined through verifiable examples and expected outcomes before coding begins. This method forces clarity and exposes uncertainty early, which is crucial for preventing subtle, cumulative errors in clinical decision-making that are difficult to detect and correct. AI

IMPACT Highlights the critical need for robust software engineering in healthcare AI development.
