A medical data platform company that has become a key partner in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, JNPMEDI (CEO, Kwunho Jeong) announced on the 20th that they have launched the next-generation medical coder, ‘Maven Coder Express’ which has been developed by using Amazon Web Service's (short for AWS) generative AI technology.


Symptoms and medical observations recorded by medical professionals in a colloquial language during clinical trials and research, needs to be manually mapped through medical coding to medical dictionaries. This process is time-consuming and prone to errors, which can complicate clinical trials.


JNPMEDI has created Maven Coder Express to solve these issues by leveraging the generative AI technology offered by AWS. After approximately two months of development, a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture was applied to this system, enhancing prompts by retrieving data from company sources, thus providing more relevant and accurate responses.


Maven Coder Express works based on three models: Anthropic's large language model ‘Claude 3.5 Sonnet’, the cost-effective ‘Claude 3 Haiku’, and AWS’s ‘Amazon Titan Text Embeddings v2’. Anthropic’s Claude models have demonstrated high-performance domain expertise across various fields such as business, finance, analytics, coding, and multilingual natural language processing (NLP), supporting accurate AI applications across different cases and industries. Maven Coder Express utilizes the official MedDRA Dictionary in its RAG framework. Amazon Bedrock automates the entire RAG workflow, including data collection, retrieval, prompt augmentation, and citation, allowing analysts and developers to focus on more valuable tasks instead of custom code development for data source integration and query management.


Maven Coder Express has officially achieved Certified MedDRA Coder (CMC) certification, validating its high accuracy and consistency in medical data coding. Through this certification, it is able to accurately code and manage clinical trial data, drug adverse event reports, and other medical information using standardized terminology.


Maven Coder Express is installed in Maven Clinical Cloud, JNPMEDI’s cloud-based clinical trial solution that supports efficient and dependable clinical trial operations from protocol creation to data collection and analysis, uses natural language processing and AI technology to translate verbatim input from clinical trial researchers into standardized medical terminology (MedDRA), reducing the time by up to 80% and increasing coding accuracy to improve data quality and consistency. Maven Coder Express offers 13 languages, including Korean, English, German, Japanese, Chinese, etc., allowing worldwide medical professionals and researchers to communicate without language barriers.


Jeongwon Yoon, AWS Korea’s Public Sector Representative, stated, "Maven Coder Express has dramatically improved the efficiency and accuracy of medical data management by leveraging various generative AI models of AWS’s Amazon Bedrock platform. Medical professionals and researchers can now shift focus from manual tasks to patient care and research. AWS will continue to actively support in order for healthcare customers to accelerate innovation through cloud and AI technologies.”


JNPMEDI’s CTO, Youngyong Park, commented, “A lot of time, money, and manpower has been consumed in medical coding although it is a critical process in making or breaking for clinical trials. Through Maven Coder Express, we are enhancing the quality of data and significantly improving operational efficiency, thereby adding value throughout drug development and post-marketing safety management. Based on the excellent security and diverse FM options of AWS cloud and generative AI technologies, we aim to maximize the synergy with Maven Clinical Cloud and become a strong partner in accelerating pharmaceutical innovation.”


Maven Coder Express is currently available in Maven CDMS, a clinical trial data managing solution.
