Automation & Integration

A healthcare technology company engaged SF AI Labs to develop an AI copilot for improving how healthcare professionals access pharmaceutical and medical information.

Prescribers often need to navigate dense prescribing information, clinical materials, and product documentation while engaging with pharmaceutical companies. The opportunity was to make this information easier to access without requiring healthcare professionals to manually search through large volumes of content.

SF AI Labs designed and integrated a RAG-based AI system that could ingest structured and unstructured medical materials, retrieve relevant information, and generate contextual responses within the existing platform.

The engagement combined AI strategy, retrieval architecture, evaluation, and product integration to move the copilot from concept into a working product capability.

Challenge

Pharmaceutical information is extensive, highly structured, and often distributed across prescribing information, clinical studies, and supporting product materials.

Healthcare professionals needed a more efficient way to navigate this information, while pharmaceutical companies needed a digital engagement experience that reduced friction without adding more administrative work for providers.

The product required an AI layer capable of finding relevant information while remaining grounded in approved source materials.

Strategy

Build a retrieval-first AI copilot around trusted medical content.

SF AI Labs designed the system to ingest pharmaceutical materials, structure the underlying knowledge, retrieve information relevant to each query, and use the retrieved context to support AI-generated answers.

The roadmap also incorporated evaluation and platform integration so the RAG system could operate as a product capability rather than a standalone prototype.

Solution

  • RAG system for structured medical and prescribing information

  • Ingestion pipelines for multiple medical content formats

  • Retrieval layer for finding relevant source material

  • AI agent capabilities for contextual question answering

  • Evaluation and integration into the existing healthcare platform

Execution

  • Defined the AI product strategy, user workflows, and technical architecture

  • Built ingestion and retrieval capabilities for structured medical content

  • Expanded the knowledge system to support additional clinical materials

  • Developed AI agent capabilities on top of the retrieval layer

  • Evaluated and integrated the RAG experience into the core platform

Results

  • Delivered the core AI strategy and technical roadmap

  • Built the medical-information ingestion and retrieval system

  • Expanded RAG support across structured and unstructured source materials

  • Completed AI quality evaluation and platform integration

  • Established the foundation for a broader AI-enabled prescriber engagement experience

Business Value

The copilot creates a faster way for healthcare professionals to navigate complex medical information.

Instead of manually searching through prescribing information and supporting documentation, users can interact with an AI experience grounded in the underlying source materials.

For the platform, this creates a differentiated engagement layer that can make pharmaceutical information more accessible while providing a foundation for additional AI-enabled scheduling, communication, and engagement capabilities.

Why SF AI Labs

SF AI Labs combines AI product strategy with hands-on development of retrieval, agentic, and enterprise AI systems.

For this engagement, we worked across the full AI product lifecycle—from defining the user experience and knowledge architecture to building the RAG system, evaluating its outputs, and integrating it into the existing healthcare platform.
