The AWS for Healthcare Team is heading to Chicago for the upcoming HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition 2023 event, April 17-21. We are looking forward to engaging with industry leaders and discussing how we can help them deliver on their mission to deliver better patient outcomes for the communities they serve.

AWS will showcase the most secure and reliable cloud platform and purpose-built solutions that increase the pace of innovation and unlock the value of health data. From migration and modernization to security and compliance, and from integration and interoperability to artificial intelligence and machine learning, AWS will take you on a journey to health innovation. Read on to learn where you can find us:

AWS on the HIMSS23 Show Floor – Booth #2056

Journey to Health Innovation Kiosks

Data Migration: Explore the first step in the journey that is foundational and critical to get right. It involves migrating data, specifically clinical data (think EHRs, PACS) and even -omic data (genomic, etc.) and therapeutic research data. Featured AWS Partner: Dedalus, Change Healthcare and Visage Imaging.

Data Protection: Once that data is migrated to the cloud, customers must ensure that the data is secure and compliant, and always available. This stage focuses on multiple aspects of security, privacy, and compliance, including preventing and mitigating cyber attacks and recovering from disasters. Featured AWS Partner: CrowdStrike and TrendMicro.

Data Unification: After migrating and protecting data, it’s time to unify that data in a way that allows for true interoperability and the effective analysis of data to drive insights that make a difference, from speeding diagnoses to addressing care gaps and from increasing efficiencies to driving down costs. Featured AWS Partners: GE Healthcare and Infor.

Innovation: Once customers have migrated data, protected that data, and unified that data, they can now start to innovate at scale as technology continues to evolve. Customers can now add conversational intelligence to standard provider visits, use AI and ML to find efficiencies in research and development, and even expand remote care and clinical trials to be more inclusive and equitable. Featured AWS Partner: DataBricks and Philips.

From 10:00 AM on April 18 through 4:00 PM on April 20, the in-booth AWS Theater offers a full schedule of over 40 sessions led by AWS experts and partners.
