Problem

Ontada needed to analyze about 150 million unstructured oncology documents. Manual review was slow, error-prone and too costly.

Approach

It built the ON.Genuity platform on Azure AI Foundry and the Azure OpenAI Batch API. Language models target nearly 100 oncology data elements, with Azure Databricks and Document Intelligence handling the data.
