The GenAI Hub is comprised of five major components: Playground is a no-code tool for domain experts to explore and apply GenAI with LLMs on enterprise data without the need for programming skills. It provides a single uniform interface to LLMs from private providers like Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, and Google Gemini, and open models from Hugging Face like LLaMA2 and Mistral. Agents Framework provides a versatile architecture for GenAI application development, leveraging libraries like LangChain and LlamaIndex for innovative solutions, including Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Evaluation Framework uses an 'AI to validate AI' approach and can auto-generate ground-truth questions to be verified by a human-in-the-loop. It employs metrics to track application performance and measures any drift and bias that can be addressed. Gateway serves as a router across LLMs, enabling application compatibility and improving the management of service priorities and load balancing. It also offers detailed insights into token consumption and associated costs. Custom Model Pipelines facilitate the creation and integration of bespoke LLMs and Small Language Models (SLMs) into the GenAI ecosystem, supporting a streamlined process for data preparation and model fine-tuning suitable for both cloud and on-premises deployments.

Persistent Systems Limited Launches Population Health Management Solution Using Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service Persistent Systems launched an innovative Generative AI-powered Population Health Management (PHM) Solution in collaboration with Microsoft. Aligned with value-based care models, the Solution identifies Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) to determine patients' non-clinical needs and better predict the cost of care driven by clinical conditions. It helps patients receive quality care at the right time and in the right place, while optimizing capacity and cost-effectiveness for healthcare providers and organizations. Predive risk modeling is a critical tool to identify patients who will require significant medical assistance, as a relatively small proportion of the population accounts for the majority of healthcare spending. Leveraging Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service and Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, Persistent's PHM Solution identifies SDoH based on Electronic Health Records (EHR) data. Since up to 80% of key patient information within an EHR is in the form of unstructured clinical notes, Persistent's Solution accurately extracts this information, unlike PHM solutions in the market, which are solely dependent on third-party data sources or survey data. This innovative method, compared to existing natural language processing-based approaches, is intended to improve patient outcomes through more timely and intelligent care recommendations, and provides higher accuracy, improved scale, and increased compliance. In addition, Persistent's PHM solution assists a physician or a caregiver in recommending personalized interventions through community-based programs and care management teams to prevent emergency department visits, avoidable readmissions, and extended hospital stays. The Solution decreases 30-day readmissions by up to 60%, and continuously monitors correlations and outcomes to ensure quality patient engagement. Persistent and Microsoft share a longstanding 32-year relationship. With more than 4,500 Microsoft-certified consultants and 50+ IPs and accelerators, Persistent is focused on establishing a resilient ecosystem supported by delivering top-notch digital solutions that aim to improve health outcomes, offer enriched patient experiences, reduce care costs, and optimize operational efficiency. The PHM Solution is a testament to Persistent's deep domain expertise and proficiency in leveraging Microsoft platforms to help its clients deliver personalized healthcare. The PHM Solution is currently available on Azure Marketplace. Price Target Changed • Jan 23

Each fix is tested, SLSA-3 compliant, and compatible with the project. Persistent has partnered with Lineaje Inc., a leading expert in software supply chain security management, to integrate its technology and advanced AI capabilities into Persistent's open-source service. Lineaje will enable the Company to help clients gain visibility into open-source components and provide impact assessment and prioritization of maintenance based on compatibility, integrity, and security in their supply chain.
