# How is Novo Nordisk using AI to write clinical study reports?

> Novo Nordisk built NovoScribe, a documentation platform using Claude models on Amazon Bedrock and MongoDB Atlas, to draft clinical study reports, device verification protocols, and patient materials for human review. Anthropic's case study reports documentation time cut from 10+ weeks to 10 minutes, a 95% reduction in resources for device verification protocols, and review cycles cut in half.

- **Evidence grade:** B — Named organization with a quantified outcome, from the vendor or the organization's own announcement.
- **Organization:** Novo Nordisk (pharmaceutical company)
- **Industry:** Pharma, Biotech & Life Sciences — Pharmaceuticals (R&D documentation)
- **Roles:** Regulatory & Medical Writing
- **Tools:** Claude / Claude Code (Anthropic); Amazon Bedrock (AWS); MongoDB Atlas (MongoDB)
- **Status:** production · **Agent pattern:** workflow-agent · **Autonomy:** 2/4
- **Last verified:** 2026-10-17

## Reported outcomes
- CSR writing time: cut by 90%; clinical study documentation from 10+ weeks to 10 minutes [1] (self-reported)
- device verification protocols: 95% reduction in resources needed [1] (self-reported)

## How it works
1. RAG combines domain-expert-approved text with case-specific variables.
2. Claude drafts the clinical study report (up to 300 pages) or other document.
3. Drafts go to human reviewers for approval.
4. Expanded from CSRs to device verification protocols and patient booklets.

## Risks & compliance
- Regulatory submissions require human sign-off
- Data handling in a GxP context

## MedTech angle
Includes device verification protocols (Novo makes injection pens), relevant to MedTech regulatory and quality teams.
