Adaptive AI systems embedded in clinical decision-making workflows operationalize hidden value tradeoffs at scale, generating distinct liability pressures and constraining clinicians’ ability to weigh and choose among competing value priorities. To redirect attention from technical model design to procurement and implementation accountability, we propose a collaborative framework: federal mandates for standardized transparency via Model Cards, paired with internal, multidisciplinary institutional reviews to deliberate and document value-laden configurations.

Insomnia is the most prevalent sleep disorder globally, for which Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment. We argue that under-mattress ballistography has the potential to enhance CBT-I delivery by providing treatment-relevant sleep metrics – sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, and sleep efficiency, with fewer limitations than polysomnography/actigraphy and consumer-wearable technologies. Validation studies show strong timing accuracy and acceptable sleep–wake classification. Integrating these metrics with CBT-I may improve decision-making, adherence, and outcomes. Future pragmatic trials and validation studies in psychiatric populations are needed.
