Deploy large language models for a healthtech use case on Amazon SageMaker

In this post, we show how to develop an ML-driven solution using Amazon SageMaker for detecting adverse events using the publicly available Adverse Drug Reaction Dataset on Hugging Face. In this solution, we fine-tune a variety of models on Hugging Face that were pre-trained on medical data and use the BioBERT model, which was pre-trained on the Pubmed dataset and performs the best out of those tried.

Automate prior authorization using CRD with CDS Hooks and AWS HealthLake

Prior authorization is a crucial process in healthcare that involves the approval of medical treatments or procedures before they are carried out. This process is necessary to ensure that patients receive the right care and that healthcare providers are following the correct procedures. However, prior authorization can be a time-consuming and complex process that requires […]

Exploring summarization options for Healthcare with Amazon SageMaker

In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, doctors are faced with vast amounts of clinical data from various sources, such as caregiver notes, electronic health records, and imaging reports. This wealth of information, while essential for patient care, can also be overwhelming and time-consuming for medical professionals to sift through and analyze. Efficiently summarizing and extracting […]

Transform, analyze, and discover insights from unstructured healthcare data using Amazon HealthLake

Healthcare data is complex and siloed, and exists in various formats. An estimated 80% of data within organizations is considered to be unstructured or “dark” data that is locked inside text, emails, PDFs, and scanned documents. This data is difficult to interpret or analyze programmatically and limits how organizations can derive insights from it and […]
