Bunkerhill Health
Agentic AI platform for health systems. Carebricks lets clinical and operational teams build, deploy, and govern their own AI agents across clinical, operational, and administrative workflows rather than buying a point solution per use case. Agents in production include coronary calcium detection on routine chest CT, nephrology triage, lung nodule follow up, referral prioritization, prior authorization packet assembly, and registry automation.
The company develops its own FDA cleared imaging algorithms that run inside the platform, including algorithms for coronary artery calcium and aortic valve calcium on contrast enhanced non gated chest CT, mitral annular calcification, and bone mineral density. CMS established a national billing code and OPPS payment for algorithmic CAC and AVC analysis on chest CT effective April 1, 2026. In production at Cleveland Clinic, the University of Texas Medical Branch, Intermountain Health, and Mayo Clinic. Founded by Nishith Khandwala, previously a researcher at Stanford's Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging.
Capability Axes
An AI Health Index grade measures what a buyer can verify from public sources on the date shown. It is not a rating of how good the product is. A vendor can build an excellent system and grade low on an axis because it publishes nothing an outsider can check. How grades read
The product is AI infrastructure: a platform whose entire function is building, deploying, and governing AI agents, plus the company's own FDA cleared imaging algorithms that run inside it. Remove the AI and nothing remains.
Autonomy is claimed and oversight is asserted without a mechanism. Bunkerhill sells outcomes ('Name the outcome. Bunkerhill delivers.'), and its UTMB case study reports 20+ live agents with '100% of agentic workflows fully automated', including agents that flagged patients with incidental coronary calcium and initiated cardiology referrals.
UTMB's AI officer describes AI as a partner, not a replacement for human judgment, but no review step, escalation threshold or limit on what an agent may do is described. An agent authoring platform puts oversight design on the customer, and nothing published says what the platform enforces or which agent actions require clinician sign off.
Two levels of disclosure inside one product. Bunkerhill's cleared imaging algorithms (coronary and aortic valve calcium, mitral annular calcification, bone mineral density, abdominal aortic diameter) have 510(k) summaries describing intended use, study design and performance. The agents and chat that make up Carebricks are described by what they do, reading imaging, reports and the full record and taking actions, with no model, version or evaluation published.
The architecture is described and no model provider is named. Bunkerhill's agents read imaging archives, report archives and the full record and act across a health system; its own imaging algorithms are cleared devices, but the language model behind the agents and chat, the host and any subprocessor are not named, and no subprocessor list appears outside the script rendered trust center.
Named deployments with outcome figures, short of published cohort results. Bunkerhill's case studies report UTMB Health running 20+ agents across 7+ clinical domains, 80 percent faster lung nodule triage there, and 11.7 percent of routine chest CT patients found with unaddressed coronary calcium; Endeavor Health identifying 5.5 percent of routine chest CT patients for cardiac follow up; WVU improving early coronary disease detection by 7 percent; and HCA West Florida detecting coronary calcium in 58 percent of chest CT scans. The cleared algorithms have 510(k) performance summaries; the agent outcomes have no stated method or baseline.
General assurances that do not answer the questions AI raises. Bunkerhill states HIPAA compliance, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, and links a trust center that may hold its policies. Its agents read imaging archives, report archives and the full longitudinal record across a health system. Nothing on the product pages states retention periods, deidentification, or whether customer data trains the agents or algorithms. Safety engineering is not published.
Compliance is claimed without the document behind it. The home page states Bunkerhill is fully compliant with HIPAA privacy and security standards, alongside SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, and links a trust center. No business associate statement or agreement appears on the company's own pages, though the trust center may hold one.
Recognized certifications are named with their type, and the artifacts sit in a trust center. The home page states SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and HIPAA compliance and links a trust center on a compliance automation platform. The trust center may hold the ISO certificate scope and the SOC 2 report period; nothing outside it states them.
The product the record leads with has no device position, while the company's own imaging algorithms are cleared. Carebricks, Bunkerhill's agent platform, runs agents for referral triage, lung nodule follow up, heart failure follow up and prior authorization with no FDA clearance and without the cleared label; a UTMB case study says it automatically initiated cardiology referrals from calcium findings.
Bunkerhill's algorithms hold 510(k) clearances in the public database, including Contrast CAC (K260166) and AVC (K243229), and the home page attaches the cleared label only to its bone mineral density measurement, correctly. CMS set a national billing code for algorithmic CAC and AVC analysis on chest CT from April 2026.
Governance is asserted rather than documented. Bunkerhill has described governance, monitoring and safety capabilities built into every deployment; its current home page and case studies do not repeat that, and the trust center may hold an AI policy. No framework, bias evaluation or subgroup results are published. For a platform that fully automates workflows across clinical domains, nothing published describes a review of each agent before it goes live or who signs it off.
Mechanisms exist for part of the product. The cleared imaging algorithms carry 510(k) summaries with performance and study design, plus the complaint and reporting duties of a cleared device, which gives a buyer something to hold those measurements to. The agents that act on them, initiating referrals, drafting documentation and working prior authorizations, carry no published accuracy figure, audit trail description, warranty or remediation commitment. One product carries two evidence regimes, and nothing published says which agent actions are logged or what Bunkerhill commits to when an agent acts wrongly.
Integration is central and no system is named. Bunkerhill's agents read clinical report and imaging archives and the EHR, and act by generating documentation, notifying care teams, initiating referrals and patient outreach, as the UTMB case study describes. No EHR, standard, listing or write back specification is named.
A hosted service with nothing committed about location. Bunkerhill runs Carebricks as a platform connected to a health system's imaging and report archives and EHR; no hosting provider, region, tenancy model or residency commitment appears on the home page or case studies, though the trust center may hold them.
No public pricing. Sold through enterprise agreements with health systems; no rate card published. The CMS billing code for CAC and AVC analysis creates a reimbursement path for certain algorithm use, which is a distinct economic question from platform licensing cost.
Coverage is broad by design, spanning cardiology, nephrology, pulmonary nodule follow up, oncology prior authorization, and registry operations across clinical, operational, and administrative functions. Clearly described, though breadth is a property of the platform model rather than a validated scope.
What Changed
Material product, regulatory, evidence and commercial changes at Bunkerhill Health, each verified against a live source and tagged to the capability axis it bears on. Funding rounds and awards are not product changes and are not logged.
CMS established a national billing code and associated payment under the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System for algorithmic analysis of coronary artery calcium and aortic valve calcium on chest CT, effective April 1, 2026. The company separately received FDA clearance for Bunkerhill Contrast CAC and Bunkerhill Contrast AVC, which it states are the first AI algorithms cleared to detect and quantify coronary artery calcium and aortic valve calcium on contrast enhanced, routine non gated chest CT, extending prior clearances that covered non contrast chest CT.

Enterprise platform agreements with health systems | — | — | Vendor Published |
Enterprise platform agreements with health systems; no rate card published. Separately, CMS established a national billing code and OPPS payment for algorithmic coronary artery calcium and aortic valve calcium analysis on chest CT effective April 1, 2026, which creates a reimbursement pathway for certain algorithm use. That is distinct from the cost of licensing the platform and buyers should model the two separately.
