Getting drugs to market faster through better health data management on AWS

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.

AWS helps Genomics England’s Multimodal programme accelerate research with whole slide images

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.
