Singapore General Hospital (SGH), SingHealth Office of Academic Informatics (OAI), and HAQM Web Services (AWS) collaborated to develop a cost-effective, scalable cloud infrastructure that enables researchers to perform their own analyses on a centrally secured and compliant cloud platform. AWS HealthOmics offers a suite of services that help bioinformaticians, researchers, and scientists to store, query, analyze, and generate insights from genomic and other biological data. Read this post to learn more about the three primary components of HealthOmics used in the solution.

Companies across all industries face a multitude of challenges in their operations, many of which can be addressed through innovative uses of technology. By implementing use cases tailored to their specific needs, organizations can drive efficiencies, mitigate risks, and create competitive advantages. This comprehensive post explores some high-impact use cases with the corresponding HAQM Web Services (AWS) solution that can transform public sector industries.

In this post, we explore how healthcare and life sciences organizations can embrace the data mesh and data as a product (DaaP) principles to unlock the full potential of their health data, drive faster and more efficient drug development, and ultimately, bring life-saving treatments to patients more quickly. We also showcase the HAQM Web Services (AWS) services that support the journey towards effective data management and alignment with data mesh principles.

Pathologists have been looking at morphological patterns in patients’ tissue sections highlighted by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining for more than a century. However, as the pathology transformation from glass slides to digital imaging gains momentum, it opens the door to artificial intelligence (AI) tools to complement expert assessment with quantitative measurements to enable data-driven medicine. Yet, challenges remain with handling digital imaging files such as storage and pre-processing prior to application of AI tools. Genomics England have utilised HAQM Web Services (AWS) and tools such as HAQM SageMaker to demonstrate how to prepare digital pathology images for research and the development of machine learning models.

HAQM Web Services (AWS) recently collaborated with global consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal to produce a whitepaper, “Cloud data governance and best practices for public healthcare cloud adoption in Asia Pacific.” This paper aims to give recommendations based on best practice examples for health policymakers to provide clear direction to healthcare institutions for governance of healthcare data in the cloud. Read this blog post for a summary of the key takeaways.

Editorial Médica Panamericana is a leading biomedical publisher with more than 2,500 titles across 23 Spanish-speaking countries. Their 25,000-plus authors have developed trusted and world-class content for more than 70 years. Médica Panamericana, in partnership with BinPar, is constantly innovating to provide its readers the best possible experience. For example, Médica Panamericana recently applied generative artificial intelligence (AI) from HAQM Web Services (AWS) to its exam preparation resource, PROMIR. Read this post to learn more.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently enabled states to extend Medicaid coverage to eligible incarcerated individuals, with hopes of ensuring continuity of care upon release, reducing the risk of relapse, and encouraging better health management. To help states begin benefitting from this new CMS policy, HAQM Web Services (AWS) offers a suite of data storage, telehealth, analytics, and reentry services. In this post, we break down four specific areas where AWS services—and AWS Partners—can help.

The HAQM Web Services (AWS) Worldwide Public Sector Symposium Canberra keynote explored generative artificial intelligence (AI) innovation in Australia and New Zealand. Iain Rouse, AWS director and country leader for Australia and New Zealand, kicked off the keynote with opening remarks. Dave Levy, vice president of Worldwide Public Sector at HAQM Web Services (AWS), followed Rouse on stage and delivered the keynote speech. Read this post for more about the session’s highlights.

Despite a common misconception about government, state agencies regularly innovate on behalf of their constituents. In this post, HAQM Web Services (AWS) experts share examples of innovation from New Mexico and North Carolina. We also provide tips for accelerating procurement and maintaining visibility over rapidly implemented workloads.

HAQM Web Services (AWS) advanced technologies can help reimagine the way healthcare entities deliver person-centered care. Technologies such as generative artificial intelligence (AI) and the ability to manage petabytes (PB) of data help companies achieve actionable insights that improve care. They can drive the ability to build new care models, improve the human experience in their health and care process, and enable clinical professionals to practice at the top of their licenses. In this blog post, I describe some ways AWS helps companies reimagine the delivery of health and care.
