Independent. Open. Non-profit.
The NAIO Institute is a distinct entity from our sister organizations NIN and FMN. As a non-profit in formation, we operate with a commitment to transparency and clinical integrity. We publish our refusal posture and governance standards to build trust through structure, not assertion. Our mission is to design the human-led control layer for healthcare AI, ensuring that nurses and physicians remain the ultimate architects of patient safety.
