What is the Previty Method?

The Previty Method is a four-step governance protocol — Verify, Match, Engage, Validate — that structures how physician expertise enters clinical AI development cycles. It is designed to make physician input rigorous, repeatable, and licensable.

How much do physician advisors get paid?

Compensation is set per engagement and confirmed in writing before work begins. Typical engagements run 2 to 5 hours at market advisory rates. Physicians are paid directly by the partner company. Previty does not take a cut.

How are physicians verified?

Every physician is verified through primary sources: ABMS for board certification, state medical boards for active licensure, and direct specialty credentialing. Verification completes in 3 to 5 business days.

When should a health tech company bring in a physician advisor?

Earlier than most companies do. The strongest clinical AI products engage physicians during problem definition, before model architecture decisions are made. Waiting until FDA submission usually means rebuilding.
