Inventurus Knowledge Solutions announced on March 24, 2026, that its subsidiary IKS Health has expanded its strategic partnership with Certilytics to revolutionize healthcare operations through agentic AI and human oversight. The collaboration aims to bridge the historic divide between payers and providers by transforming predictive insights into coordinated clinical actions.

Strategic Partnership Overview

The expanded partnership integrates Certilytics' BrainstormAI® Studio and CertHLM™ with IKS Health's Agentic Care Enablement Platform. This integration creates a comprehensive ecosystem where AI agents manage complex healthcare tasks under continuous human expertise oversight, moving beyond traditional systems of intelligence to systems of action.

Key Strategic Use Cases

The collaboration centers on three primary strategic workflows designed to reduce administrative friction and enhance patient care:

Prior Authorization Transparency: The partnership moves beyond traditional "rules of thumb" to implement real-time, payer-specific rule sets. More than 70% of all prior authorization workflows will be handled autonomously, significantly reducing provider burden while accelerating patient care delivery.

Member Engagement: The system scales proactive outreach beyond simple notifications to create meaningful clinical connections that actively close care gaps and improve patient outcomes.

Consumer Price Transparency: Patients and employers receive accurate financial outlooks at the point of care rather than waiting weeks for cost information, enabling informed healthcare decisions.

Leadership Perspectives

Sachin K. Gupta, Founder and Global CEO of IKS Health, emphasized the importance of responsible AI implementation: "At IKS Health, our mission is to enable care by removing the chores that prevent great outcomes. But for AI to be truly effective in healthcare, it must be responsible. By expanding our partnership with Certilytics, we are connecting payer rules and provider workflows through predictive analytics with our proven human-in-the-loop model serving as the ultimate safeguard for clinical and administrative accuracy."

Merle A. Ryland, CEO of Certilytics, highlighted the collaborative approach: "We are equally excited about this unique partnership with IKS Health to bring providers, health plans, payers, and plan sponsors together in making full use of the science and computing power of generative AI capabilities."

Technology and Innovation Focus

Robert Dwyer, Ph.D., Chief Data Scientist of Certilytics, noted the practical applications developed through the collaboration: "In collaborating with IKS Health over the past two years, our data science and engineering teams have created truly practical, readily deployable AI architected tools that we believe will deliver on the immense promise of this science."

Certilytics has been developing healthcare-specific agentic AI applications since 2014, focusing on empowering authorized, credentialed users to maximize data value while maintaining necessary governance, security, and validity standards for healthcare AI applications.
