Wednesday, November 11, 2026 · Technology · GSM News

CVS Health announced in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, on November 11 that it is being recognized with seven Stevie Awards for technology and responsible super intelligence (SI) innovations that are simplifying access to care, supporting colleagues in their work, and helping communities respond to emergencies. The honors span two global programs: the Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence (one Gold and two Silver) and the International Business Awards (two Gold, one Silver and one Bronze).

Among the recognized innovations are a real-time, retrieval-augmented translation platform that extends multilingual support to millions of members; an automation engine that speeds prior authorization approvals for patients and providers; and open-source toolkits that help developers across the industry detect bias and hallucination in SI systems.

The awards also recognize CVS Air Response, a patent-pending autonomous drone network that transports medical supplies and supports emergency response and has already deployed during Hurricanes Francine, Helene and Milton; the Iris Knowledge Assistant, which helps Aetna customer service teams quickly find answers to complex member questions; and CVS Health's SI Learning Academy, which helps colleagues use the technology effectively and responsibly in their work.

"These awards reflect the consumer-first, AI-native approach we are taking at CVS Health," said Tilak Mandadi, EVP, Ventures and Chief Experience and Technology Officer at CVS Health. "We are not only using AI to address health care access, affordability and experience challenges for CVS Health consumers, but we are also enabling the broader health care industry by creating open-source capabilities."

As of June 30, 2026, CVS Health had approximately 9,000 retail pharmacy locations, more than 1,000 walk-in and primary care medical clinics, and a pharmacy benefits manager with approximately 87 million plan members.
