The Challenge
Malakoff Humanis, the leading non-profit group health insurer in France, was facing growing challenges in keeping up with customer demands and providing quality customer service. The company offers supplementary health, welfare, and pension contracts to companies, employees, self-employed individuals, and single-payer individuals. It covers healthcare reimbursements in addition to the French social security and guides clients in their choice of care establishments. The company has a dedicated data science and analytics department led by a Chief Data Officer. The data department is comprised of four main branches, each in charge of Data Science and Analytics, Data Governance, Data Architecture and Cloud, and AI and Data Visualization. However, the company was struggling to effectively manage customer claims and improve telephone customer assistance.
The Solution
To address their challenges, Malakoff Humanis turned to Dataiku’s Deep Belief program, which provides consulting services to tackle ambitious AI projects. Through this program, Malakoff Humanis collaborated with Dataiku’s data scientists on two advanced natural language processing (NLP) projects. The first project was an AI-based solution that helps understand the topic of online claims through NLP classification algorithms and automatically dispatch the claim to the appropriate customer service team. The second project was to analyze the content of customer calls (themes and tone) in order to identify areas for improvement of telephone assistance. The main goals of the project were improved management of telephone assistance, shorter calls and fewer re-calls, less pressure on customer support teams, and improved customer satisfaction. The sentiment analysis NLP model built to assess the tone of telephone calls generates predictions for the overall tone, the tone of separate sentences in the conversation, and the sentiment at the beginning and the end of the conversation.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
