Companies across all industries face a multitude of challenges in their operations, many of which can be addressed through innovative uses of technology. By implementing use cases tailored to their specific needs, organizations can drive efficiencies, mitigate risks, and create competitive advantages. This comprehensive post explores some high-impact use cases with the corresponding Amazon Web Services (AWS) solution that can transform public sector industries.

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 Amazon Web Services (AWS) services that support the journey towards effective data management and alignment with data mesh principles.

When government agencies choose Amazon Web Service (AWS) to store data, they choose to take advantage of inheriting the strictest security controls and standards. In addition, AWS services offer a unique opportunity to enhance networking and security approaches, ensuring safe and resilient data transfer mechanisms. This blog post provides guidance towards data sharing among government agencies, offering prescriptive approaches and best practices for implementing secure data exchange solutions using AWS services.

The Natural History Museum (NHM) in London is a world-class visitor attraction and a leading science research center. NHM and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have partnered up to transform and accelerate scientific research by bringing together a broad range of biodiversity and environmental data types in one place for the first time. In an earlier post, we discussed NHM’s overall vision for using open data in combination with large-scale compute, data systems, and machine learning (ML) to create the Planetary Knowledge Base (PKB), a knowledge graph of global biodiversity. In this post, we focus on the underlying services and architecture that comprise the PKB.

The Prosper Africa Tech for Trade Alliance is a collaboration uniting leading American and African tech companies behind the mission of accelerating e-commerce and digital trade in Africa. The recently announced collaboration between Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Choppies, a leading supermarket chain in Botswana, exemplifies the Alliance’s model of impact-oriented public-private partnerships. This post highlights the AWS-powered deployment of Choppies’ state-of-the-art Farmer’s app across its supplier network.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently enabled states to extend Medicaid coverage to eligible incarcerated individuals, with hopes of ensuring continuity of care upon release, reducing the risk of relapse, and encouraging better health management. To help states begin benefitting from this new CMS policy, Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a suite of data storage, telehealth, analytics, and reentry services. In this post, we break down four specific areas where AWS services—and AWS Partners—can help.

Healthcare organizations worldwide are leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) and partner solutions to modernize, transform, and innovate their businesses. Ensuring the availability and security of critical applications is paramount. For example, two renowned German medical facilities, Fachklinikum Mainschleife and Max Grundig Klinik, needed to modernize their IT infrastructure to comply with stringent regulatory requirements outlined in the country’s Law for Accelerating the Digitalization of Healthcare (DigiG). Reliable and compliant service offerings from AWS enabled the medical facilities to provide reliable access to essential systems.

For years, public health agencies have relied on paper-based case report forms to supplement the electronic laboratory reports (ELRs) they receive for reportable diseases. While ELRs provide positive test results, the accompanying case reports give public health agencies critical clinical, demographic, and risk factor data needed for effective disease investigation and response. However, the sheer volume of COVID-19 cases quickly overwhelmed this manual, paper-based process. Prior to the pandemic, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed standards for an electronic case report (eCR) form that could be automatically sent to public health agencies from providers’ electronic health records (EHRs).

In alignment with Singapore’s ambitious sustainability objectives, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore is intensifying its efforts to spur the adoption of electric vehicles. This contributes to the nation’s goal of achieving 100 percent cleaner energy vehicles by 2040, and the effort leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS). LTA has set up EV-Electric Charging Pte Ltd (EVe) to manage the deployment of up to 12,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging points distributed across 2,000 Housing Development Board (HDB) carparks.
