NEW YORK--()--Paynela, a leading healthcare financing innovator, has been named a 2024 AWS Generative AI Trailblazer by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in recognition of their development of an automated, AI-driven solution for healthcare data review.

In introducing automation, Paynela has streamlined the adjudication of pharmaceutical patient assistance programs, improving individual outcomes and allowing pharmaceutical manufacturers to expand their patient support population.

“Once patients apply for assistance, the medical adjudication portion of the process is historically entirely manual,” said Mary-Beth Macaluso, CEO, Paynela. “This invariably caused huge backlogs, directly impacting those patients when their payments were delayed. Paynela’s new automated solution streamlines the process, eliminating those delays and improving outcomes for those patients.”

Paynela partnered with Mission, a US-based Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Tier Partner, to develop the healthcare data solution because of Mission’s AWS and AI expertise. Mission utilized the generative AI capabilities of AWS to create the data analysis tool. “The final solution combines OCR from Textract and Amazon Bedrock. It’s made up entirely of AWS pieces that provide a nice, tight pipeline,” said Dr. Ryan Ries, Chief AI and Data Scientist, Mission.

The introduction of automation also allows for deeper data review and analysis. “We’re diving into data and extracting insights that inform our client’s strategic roadmap to help drive expansion,” said Macaluso. “Paynela is not only improving the experience for current patients, but ultimately, we are making it possible to provide life-saving medications to even more patients and removing burdens for manufacturers in the process.”
