From Manual to Intelligent: Automating Medical Coding Doctory’s Journey to AI-Powered Document Automation on AWS with Agentic AI

From Manual to Intelligent: Automating Medical Coding Doctory’s Journey to AI-Powered Document Automation on AWS with Agentic AI

Doctory, a leading digital healthcare platform in the Middle East, faced critical challenges with manual medical coding, unstructured document handling, and the growing demand for real-time, compliant data processing. SUDO developed an AI-powered Medical Coding Agent on AWS, utilizing Amazon Bedrock AgentCore for intelligent automation, Amazon Comprehend Medical for clinical entity extraction, and Amazon Textract for document processing, all delivered through a fully serverless architecture. This transformed Doctory's medical workflows, reducing manual effort, improving coding accuracy, and enabling real-time document processing at scale.

The Challenge

Manual Coding Inefficiency
Manual medical coding slowed billing cycles, documentation workflows, and overall platform responsiveness.

Unstructured Document Complexity
Prescriptions, reports, and invoices arrived in unstructured formats that existing tools could not process reliably at scale.

Compliance and Accuracy Pressure
Errors in medical coding led to rejected claims and compliance gaps, leaving no room for manual error.

Scalability Constraints
Growing teleconsultation and health record volumes could not scale without significant increases in cost and headcount.
