Welcome to the H/I Era

Healthcare Intelligence, built into Darwin.

Pharmacy benefits are moving faster and becoming more complex. Meeting today’s expectations requires more than layering new technology onto existing processes. It requires a more intelligent way to connect information, support decisions, and move work forward.

That is Darwin H/I. Not AI for its own sake.

Darwin H/I embeds native intelligence across Darwin’s data, workflows, and decisions. It is grounded in pharmacy data, designed for auditability, and built to support human judgment rather than replace it.

The Darwin H/I Tenets

Four tenets define Healthcare Intelligence.

The Darwin H/I tenets define how intelligence should behave and what health plans should expect from it. Transparency, Humanity, Boldness, and Accountability are our point of view on AI in healthcare, put into practice.

01

Transparency

Making information, logic, and outcomes easier to see, trace, and understand.

02

Humanity

Remembering that behind every claim is a person whose life cannot be reduced to a transaction.

03

Boldness

Challenging the friction and opacity the industry has accepted as normal.

04

Accountability

Ensuring recommendations can be reviewed, decisions can be explained, and people remain responsible for their impact.

One platform. Intelligence in continuous evolution.

Information made easier to understand and act on.
Cloud-first access
Secure, real-time, flexible, and interoperable.

For more than 20 years, Abarca has pursued a better way to manage pharmacy benefits. That pursuit led us to build Darwin, a cloud-first operating system that brings pharmacy benefit information together on one platform. Since then, Darwin has kept evolving, one step at a time.

Darwin evolution timeline

  1. Generative AI explosion

This next evolution of Darwin into the Healthcare Intelligence era is accelerating the revolution of pharmacy benefit management.

Featured proof points

  1. Darwin Context

    Darwin Context, the platform’s intelligent information layer, connects Abarca’s data across all domains so that users and apps alike can understand any relevant code, configuration or documentation to make more informed decisions.

  2. Charlie

    Charlie gives every user an easier way to ask questions, understand claims, simulate scenarios, and take action.

  3. Darwin PAth

    Darwin PAth delivers efficiencies across prior authorization and coverage determination, enabling the evolution of the Better Care Program to deliver savings while keeping clinicians in the loop to make final decisions.

Each solution builds on what came before. Some will evolve into new versions; others will be superseded by future iterations of Darwin H/I. That is what Darwin was always meant to stand for.

Healthcare Revolution, Accelerated.

Darwin H/I puts intelligence in motion, helping health plans gain greater clarity, make better-informed decisions, and deliver a more seamless and personalized pharmacy benefit experience. As part of Healthcare Revolution Partners, together with LucyRx, that evolution now reaches further, giving health plans a real alternative when their pharmacy benefit needs to work differently.
