Our take
Founded in 2016, Machinify's original aims were to help re-tool business operations across industries, transform data into decisions, and enable established enterprises to keep up with the rapidly digitizing space. Nowadays, the company has pivoted to employ its AI expertise specifically in the healthcare industry, where it has already found success with Payers and secured several market-leader customers.
Healthcare is one of many industries where companies have vast pools of data but struggle to make the most of it due to operational restraints. Machinify makes it easier for Payers to implement AI-powered decision-making, applying it to the authorization of treatments, review of medical claims and bills, and diagnosis of underlying conditions.
With intelligent applications seeing broader adoption in the healthcare market, the company will likely see more funding and growth in the coming years. Its acquisitions of companies such as Performant Healthcare will enable it to easily expand its AI-powered operating system, creating an even more robust offering for clients.
