NewWave and Medal, Inc. Partner to provide big reductions in Federal and State Agencies' Healthcare Costs

ELKRIDGE, Md., Aug. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, NewWave announced the formalization of a relationship with Medal Inc., that includes an exclusive arrangement to incorporate Medal's healthcare focused Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing products and services into NewWave's suite of capabilities for federal contracts.

The benefits of this partnership will help both federal and commercial clients, who handle large volumes of unstructured health data to transform it into computable data assets for a multitude of use cases.

"NewWave has built our reputation on delivering solutions that leverage the best of available technologies.  We are excited to have established this relationship with Medal so that we can continue to help our clients get the most out of innovative technologies that can help solve some of the most vexing problems in healthcare." said Patrick Munis, CEO and President at NewWave

Lonnie Rae Kurlander, Co-founder and CEO at Medal said: "Despite a $35 billion-dollar federal investment in electronic medical records, the top three methods of health data transfer remain paper/mail, fax/e-fax, and phone." Ms. Kurlander continued: " The time for a solution is now. It's why we built Medal - a suite of products that mean you won't have to search through or send a fax or e-fax ever again. Medal easily extracts and processes data from these formats where critical health information is often trapped and transforms unstructured data into a patient narrative that is useful to providers, patients, and members across a spectrum of care."
