Advancing interoperability: Netsmart becomes first designated QHIN built entirely on AWS Cloud
Netsmart, an industry-leading healthcare IT platform organization, serving the human services, post-acute care, payers, public sector, physical therapy, and rehabilitation communities, became the first designated Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) built entirely on serverless, cloud-first technology in August 2025—and it did so with Amazon Web Services (AWS) technology.
Powering the future of children’s health: AWS announces the 2025 Children’s Health Innovation Award recipients
Today, on National Child Health Day, AWS is proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 AWS Imagine Grant Children’s Health Innovation Award (CHIA). This year’s cohort recognizes nine leading healthcare, research, and humanitarian organizations who are using AWS to realize a common vision: creating a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive through innovative solutions that predict, prevent, and address health challenges.
Unlocking the brain’s secrets: E11 Bio’s brain circuit mapping dataset now on AWS Open Data
Today, we are excited to announce the release of E11 Bio’s brain tissue dataset on AWS as part of the Registry of Open Data on AWS (E11bio PRISM). Read this post to learn more.
Breaking down healthcare’s walls with agentic AI
AWS has developed a comprehensive suite of agentic AI solutions that are reshaping how healthcare organizations approach patient care, operational efficiency, and system resilience. AWS meets customers wherever they are on their agentic AI journey, offering everything from ready-to-deploy agents to tools for building sophisticated custom solutions. Unlike traditional AI that simply responds to prompts, these agentic AI solutions can reason, plan, and take autonomous actions to accomplish complex healthcare goals with minimal human oversight.

Maximizing EC2 Spot Instance reliability for Nextflow on AWS Batch with Memory Machine Batch
AWS partners with providers of innovative solutions such as MemVerge, an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced Technology Partner, whose Memory Machine Batch (MMBatch) technology complements AWS Batch by providing advanced checkpointing capabilities for EC2 Spot Instances. In this post, we look at how MemVerge’s technology can overcome the challenges of interrupted pipelines by enabling pipelines that were interrupted mid task to start from where they left off, regardless of Spot Instance reclaims. We’ll also show how MemVerge’s Batch Viewer and proven best practices empower researchers to visualize their workloads, identify bottlenecks, and apply smart strategies that make their pipelines more efficient, resilient, and cloud-optimized.
How Poland’s Post Bank accelerated digital transformation while maintaining regulatory compliance on AWS
By migrating their electronic banking system to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Post Bank reduced application deployment time from 2 hours to only 10 minutes, decreased CPU utilization by 40 percent, and dramatically improved system reliability—all while maintaining full compliance with Poland’s stringent financial regulations. This transformation story demonstrates how financial institutions can use AWS Cloud technology to become more agile and efficient without compromising security or regulatory compliance.
Powering genetic rare disease diagnostics with AWS at Hannover Medical School (MHH)
The Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) based genetic diagnostics has revolutionized our ability to identify and understand rare diseases, particularly in pediatric cases where early diagnosis, sometimes within a few hours to days, can dramatically improve patient outcomes. However, WGS needs significant computational resources for analyzing genomic data, which presents a challenge to academic medical centers to balance between flexibility, scalability, speed, and cost. The Department of Human Genetics at Hannover Medical School (MHH), one of Germany’s leading university hospitals, has developed an innovative solution to this challenge by using AWS.
