The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on HAQM Web Services (AWS). AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. The full list of publicly available datasets are on the Registry of Open Data on AWS and are now also discoverable on AWS Data Exchange. This quarter, AWS released 53 new or updated datasets and you can learn more about them in this post.

Public sector organizations face stringent compliance requirements, and any unauthorized access to protected health information (PHI) or personal identifiable information (PII) can result in legal penalties and reputational damage. This post aims to demonstrate how public sector customers can develop a fine-grained authorization module using HAQM Web Services (AWS) identity services, extending beyond the capabilities of traditional role-based access control (RBAC), so they can achieve compliance objectives.

The healthcare industry is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and connected care devices. This digital revolution promises to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance the overall healthcare experience. However, it also introduces new challenges in terms of cybersecurity, privacy, and regulatory compliance. To navigate this complex landscape, healthcare organizations are turning to scalable, affordable, and highly available cloud infrastructures such as HAQM Web Services (AWS) to build resilient, secure, and innovative solutions.

The University of Michigan Solar Car Team, renowned for their innovative designs and competitive edge, has once again pushed the boundaries of solar car technology. Their recent victory in the American Solar Challenge (ASC) can be attributed, in part, to their strategic use of HAQM Web Services (AWS) for advanced simulations and design optimization. Read this post to learn more.

This post discusses how FIA Tech, a leading technology provider for the exchange traded derivatives (ETD) industry, built the Trade Data Network (TDN) on HAQM Web Services (AWS). TDN is an industry initiative that provides a shared ledger of trading information to address the fragmentation and lack of transparency in ETD post-trade processing. The TDN initiative currently includes 17 banks/brokers and 40 investment managers and hedge funds with combined assets under management of more than $34 trillion.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has long maintained guidelines governing the responsible management of controlled access human genomic and phenotypic data maintained in NIH-designated data repositories. Recently, the NIH updated these guidelines to align with the NIST SP 800-171 security standard, which defines a comprehensive framework for securing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). In this blog post, we will explore the specifics of the updated NIH guidance and outline how HAQM Web Services (AWS) can help customers build a compliant environment to meet these requirements.

Precision medicine is a data-driven approach that considers individual variations in genetics to allow healthcare professionals to more accurately predict, prevent, diagnose, or treat different groups of people. As part of ongoing research to advance genomic research in Singapore, companies like HAQM Web Services (AWS) and Illumina play a pivotal role in genome sequencing and analysis, and providing the tools and technology needed to analyse large-scale genomic datasets to help decode the risk factors for certain Asian-specific chronic diseases.

The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on HAQM Web Services (AWS). AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. Through this program, customers are making over 100 petabytes (PB) of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. This quarter, AWS released 39 new or updated datasets.

During AWS re:Invent 2024, an Innovation Session presented by Worldwide Public Sector Vice President Dave Levy illustrated how AWS empowers customers to innovate and tackle critical challenges faster and more efficiently using cloud technology and generative artificial intelligence (AI). Take a few minutes to read this post and learn more about the transformative initiatives, inspiring customer stories, and technological developments that help AWS public sector customers improve life on Earth.

At HAQM Web Services (AWS), we believe in the power of cloud technology to transform healthcare and improve lives. Because of this, at AWS re:Invent 2024 we announced a commitment of up to $2 million in AWS credits to help four Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Sprint for Women’s Health launchpad awardees address critical unmet challenges in women’s health.
