Driving Efficiency in Healthcare with NLP
Client Background
Phastar, a global biometrics and clinical research organisation, supports pharmaceutical companies with medical data analysis.
The Challenge
Medical analysts spent hours manually coding free-text medical terms into standardised dictionaries. This:
Slowed down trials.
Led to errors and inconsistencies (accuracy ~60%).
Created resource bottlenecks.

Tammwe’s data science team developed a natural language processing (NLP) solution powered by deep learning:
Built on Sentence-BERT embeddings for medical text.
Automated mapping of free-text entries to standard medical codes.
Seamless integration into analysts’ workflow.
Results & Impact
Accuracy boosted from 60% → 90%.
Analysts saved hundreds of hours, focusing on higher-value tasks.
Faster trial turnaround times for clients.
