AWS recently launched new FHIR API capabilities on Amazon HealthLake including support for SMART on FHIR 1.0.0. With the support for SMART on FHIR, HealthLake now offers authorization based on the SMART framework using FHIR scopes […]

MachineMetrics on AWS supports automated production monitoring and analytics, while maintaining strong security and compliance. Users achieve strong security and compliance at scale, by using underlying MachineMetrics and AWS frameworks. There’s a myth in the life sciences industry that cloud-based solutions threaten compliance due to a lack of security and stability. This level of caution can […]

The FAIR data principles were first proposed in a seminal paper published in 2016 in the Journal Scientific Data. It was written by a group of international experts in data management and curation. To address the challenges that the research community is facing, they proposed FAIR Principles as a framework for making data more discoverable, […]

Today, healthcare organizations rely on a combination of automated and manual processes to compose, review, and classify patient safety reports. These reports are entered manually by front-line clinicians into the RL Datix reporting system. This entry includes both discrete data points as well as a free-text narrative. Although the data collection process may begin with […]

New draft guidance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) opens the door for medical devices with AI/ML to learn and improve after the product comes to market.
