BRING YOUR TEXTUAL DATA TO LIFE .
Melax Technologies Inc. is an emerging AI company specializing in machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) in the biomedical domain. The Melax team has over 20 years of experience in developing clinical NLP methods, tools, and applications, top-ranked in a dozen international NLP challenges in the medical domain. Many NLP-based solutions such as computer-assisted medical coding, clinical decision support, surveillance, care quality, and patient safety reporting were implemented and tested in leading hospitals and high-tech companies in US and other countries.
Melax’s featured product, the CLAMP toolkit for clinical NLP, was built on top of award-winning NLP methodologies proven in many international NLP challenges. It enables recognition and automatic encoding of clinical information in narrative patient reports. Currently, CLAMP has been widely used by thousands of users from hundreds of organizations including large medical centers and leading HIT companies.
Client Commentary…

We needed NLP functionality at our company and did not have the in-house expertise to accomplish it. We chose Melax Technologies CLAMP system to jumpstart our efforts. Ours was not a typical medical NLP application and the Melax team provided terrific support in getting us going and customizing the NLP pipeline to meet our needs. They also provided a framework for deploying the pipeline as a web service. I have always found them responsive and great to work with. We really appreciate their expertise and their can-do attitude which have allowed us to succeed in incorporating NLP into our product.”
