As more medications become available for use, the simultaneous use of multiple medications by a single patient is […]

In this blog, we show how you can leverage AWS purpose-built health care and life sciences (HCLS), machine learning (ML), and analytics services to simplify storage and analysis across genomic, health records, and medical imaging data for precision health use cases. The included reference architecture is built on AWS HealthOmics, AWS HealthImaging, and AWS HealthLake services which enable you […]

Healthcare and Life Science organizations have a mission to improve human health and make groundbreaking scientific discoveries. More often than not, they leverage genomic, transcriptomic or other omics data to achieve this goal. They use a collection of bioinformatics tools and methods to process this data and derive scientific insights. Bioinformatics workflows enable orchestration of […]

AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible AWS service and provides fully-managed compute that helps customers process genomic, proteomic, and other varieties of -omic data securely and at scale in AWS. It supports common workflow definition languages—including WDL, Nextflow, and CWL—and secure access to data stored in Amazon S3 and AWS HealthOmics Storage. In this blog post, we cover […]

Image-guided therapy solutions provide visual guidance during minimally invasive therapies. However, with interventional systems located within hospitals, enabling faster innovation and a roll-out of new technologies to the field has been a significant challenge. To solve this, Philips has prototyped a large-scale, near-real-time inferencing platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to extend the capabilities of […]

Large language models (LLMs) are revolutionizing the way we interact with technology, and AWS HealthLake is no exception. HealthLake is a secure, HIPAA-eligible data lake that allows healthcare organizations to store, transform, and analyze their health data at scale. By combining HealthLake with an LLM, healthcare providers can interact conversationally with their data, gaining insights and making decisions […]
