The award recognizes the company's innovative clinical data abstraction platform, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology combined with expert human abstractors to improve patient care and reduce costs. By using Carta Healthcare's platform, health systems and hospitals can lower their data abstraction costs by more than 50%, reduce per-case abstraction time by two-thirds, and achieve an average 98%-99% Inter-Rater Reliability (IRR). The company has also developed risk-sharing models that have yielded 100% customer retention and the highest customer satisfaction ratings.

The guidance was informed by feedback from an expert workshop, over 800 comments from external parties, and the FDA's experience with more than 500 submissions containing AI components since 2016. The agency is asking for input on how well the draft aligns with industry experience and whether available options for engaging with the FDA on AI use are sufficient. This guidance is specific to drug and biological products, and follows a separate announcement of draft guidance on AI-enabled medical devices.

The company's strong demand for artificial intelligence (AI) servers drove growth in its cloud and networking products division, particularly from customers such as Nvidia, an AI chip firm. In contrast, sales of smart consumer electronics, including iPhones assembled by Foxconn, experienced "roughly flattish" year-on-year growth.

This development is part of a broader trend in artificial intelligence, dubbed the "leap year," where companies like Google and others are releasing advanced AI models, including Google's Gemini model. These advancements enable systems to handle uncertainty more effectively, explain their reasoning processes, and adapt to new information, with applications across various fields such as scientific research and creative production.

The company's margins improved by 10 basis points due to reduced onsite costs and enhanced operational efficiencies. However, analysts from Motilal Oswal Financial Services anticipate margin pressures in the December quarter due to seasonal furloughs and fewer working days. Infosys is implementing cost-saving initiatives such as subcontractor optimisation and its "Project Maximus" plan to offset these challenges. The company has also delayed salary hikes for employees, but selective increments are being given to top performers in high-demand areas like artificial intelligence.
