About This Tool: The DECIDE-AI Checklist

What is it for?
This tool is a web-based checklist implementing DECIDE-AI, the reporting guideline for the Developmental and Exploratory Clinical Investigations of DEcision support systems driven by Artificial Intelligence. DECIDE-AI is a stand-alone, stage-specific guideline for reporting the early, small-scale, live clinical evaluation of AI-based decision support systems, focusing on proof of clinical utility at small scale, safety, human factors, and preparation for larger summative trials. It comprises 17 AI-specific reporting items (28 sub-items) and 10 generic reporting items. By using this checklist, authors, editors and reviewers can systematically evaluate whether an early-stage clinical AI study transparently reports these elements.

How the item tags work
DECIDE-AI is stand-alone, so there is no separate base guideline to check alongside it. An AI-specific item addresses a requirement unique to evaluating an AI-driven decision support system; a Generic item covers reporting expected of any early-stage clinical study. The item numbering follows the guideline's own convention: AI-specific items use Arabic numerals (1–17) and generic items use Roman numerals (I–X).
