Pelago Builds Serverless AI Assistant for Substance Use Disorder Care in Two Weeks

Pelago, a digital health company specializing in substance use disorder support, built an AI assistant using AWS serverless services (Amazon Bedrock, AWS Lambda) in two weeks. The system generates contextually aware suggestions for care teams, preserving human oversight while accelerating development. The project addresses the challenge of scaling personalized patient interactions without overwhelming staff. The solution is event-driven and deployed on AWS infrastructure.

Global Impact

Economically, this approach could lower barriers to AI adoption in healthcare, enabling smaller firms to compete with larger incumbents. Socially, it may improve patient outcomes by augmenting care teams without replacing human judgment.
