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.

PointHealth AI, a healthcare technology (HealthTech) startup, and Protege, a data innovator specializing in artificial intelligence (AI)-ready datasets, are working with HAQM Web Services (AWS) to combine de-identified demographic and clinical information from millions of patient records, in order to deliver more precise and informed treatment recommendations. This data-informed strategy aims to give doctors the information they need to prescribe the right care for a patient’s unique needs—on the first try.

In an earlier post, Build secure and scalable data platforms for the European Health Data Space (EHDS) with AWS, we discussed a reference architecture for building secure and scalable data platforms for secondary usage of health data in alignment with the European Health Data Space (EHDS) using HAQM Web Services (AWS). This follow-up post walks you through the technical implementation details for building such federated data governance and analysis platforms using AWS. Whether you are a healthcare organization, technology provider, or systems integrator, this post aims to equip you with the technical knowledge to build a secure data platform for secondary usage of health data in alignment with the EHDS Regulation.

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 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.

PubMed Central (PMC) is a leading resource for biomedical literature, offering a vast repository of full-text biomedical and life sciences journal articles. While PMC offers immense potential to accelerate scientific progress, inform evidence-based practice, and drive innovation in the biomedical and life sciences fields, the sheer volume of data presents a significant challenge. This is where HAQM Q Business comes in. It’s a powerful service designed to streamline the process of analyzing vast amounts of scientific literature and provide valuable insights efficiently.

Healthcare organizations face a significant challenge in making sense of the vast amounts of unstructured medical data trapped in patient records, lab results, and clinical guidelines. Approximately 97 percent of the 50 petabytes (PB) of healthcare data generated annually goes unused. This untapped resource could hold the key to improving patient care and saving valuable clinician time. Read this post learn how we built an innovative solution on HAQM Web Services (AWS) generative artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities that lets clinicians unlock this data treasure trove.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) is a nonprofit organization and world leader supporting the radiology community. Founded in 1923, ACR represents more than 41,000 diagnostic and interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists. In this post, we share how ACR implemented a Statistical Analysis System (SAS) solution on HAQM Web Services (AWS) to accomplish their big data processing and analysis needs, resulting in better cost optimization, performance improvements, and improved scalability.

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.
