Huron Accelerates Clinical Trial Coverage Analysis with Amazon Bedrock
Huron, a healthcare consulting firm, uses generative AI to accelerate the analysis of clinical trial coverage documents. The company needed to extract critical billing and coverage information from complex unstructured documents, including graphs, charts, text, and images, which previously required manual search across multiple documents. Huron built a generative AI solution on AWS with Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless to support faster, more accurate clinical trial administration.

- Extract critical billing and coverage information from complex unstructured medical documents.
- Reduce the manual, time-consuming process that delayed clinical trial launch and administration.
- Improve speed and accuracy while maintaining security and control over sensitive data.
- Built and deployed a proof of concept using Amazon Bedrock in March 2024 after evaluating a homegrown LLM approach.
- Used Amazon Bedrock native capabilities for chunking, vector storage, and information retrieval instead of multiple custom scripts.
- Implemented Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless to support retrieval and search across documents.
- Standardized a generative AI foundation that lets users query all relevant documents at once and ask follow-up questions.
- The company said the solution significantly shortened turnaround times for launching clinical trials.
- Huron reduced development and debugging effort for content vectorization by about half.
- Manual searching across documents was eliminated for the targeted workflow.
- The approach improved response speed and accuracy for predictive and coverage analysis workflows.
Architecture
Huron's AI team moved from a custom LLM-based proof of concept to Amazon Bedrock. The solution uses Amazon Bedrock native chunking, vector storage, and information retrieval capabilities, Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases for retrieval-augmented responses, and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless for search and log analytics without infrastructure management.
