The government of La Rioja—through its Fundación Rioja Salud—is revolutionizing healthcare delivery in Spain by building PASCAL, a comprehensive health data lake. PASCAL leverages AWS cloud infrastructure to enable predictive, participative, preventive, personalized, and precision medicine—the five Ps of modern healthcare.

Timely access to medical imaging can mean the difference between early detection and delayed treatment. In Poland, healthcare technology company Radpoint has revolutionized how radiologists work and how patients receive care by building a comprehensive cloud-based medical imaging platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Their solution demonstrates how cloud technology can transform healthcare delivery while maintaining the highest security standards.

In collaboration with AWS, Strategic Solutions Group LLC (SSG) successfully developed Compass, an AI-powered report builder that transforms how public health officials’ access and analyze critical data. Read this post to learn more.

The Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) works to build effective laboratory systems in the US and globally, representing state and local governmental health labs that monitor and detect public health threats. In 2024, APHL successfully applied for the AWS invite-only category of the AWS Imagine Grant, the Children’s Health Innovation Award. Working with their healthcare technology partner Ruvos, APHL received grant funding that included both cash and AWS credits to advance Detor, an electronic test order and result (ETOR) solution developed with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The new AWS whitepaper “Health Data Marketplace: Driving Data Strategy in Multi-Cloud Health Systems” introduces Health Data Marketplaces as a health data strategy and a fresh architectural approach designed to help healthcare organizations decouple value creation from operational complexity. The Health Data Marketplace concept enables a “search, shop, and serve” experience for datasets, insights, and AI applications—allowing clinicians, researchers, regulators, and life sciences partners to collaborate on trusted data assets across multiple clouds.

Founded in 1990, the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) is the first and largest global foundation focused specifically on multiple myeloma. The IMF’s mission is to improve the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure by focusing on four key areas: research, education, support, and advocacy. In September 2024, the IMF launched Myelo—an artificial intelligence-powered virtual assistant built using AWS and Max.AI, developed by ZS Associates. This blog post highlights Myelo’s capabilities to provide myeloma patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals a trustworthy, round-the-clock source of information that is accessible from anywhere in the world, grounded in empathy, and can communicate in multiple languages.

In this post, we explore how WestCare—a worldwide family of nonprofit organizations providing treatment and rehabilitation, mental health and wellness, emergency support, housing opportunities, education and prevention, criminal justice, domestic violence, and veterans services—uses AWS services to transform healthcare delivery and reduce administrative burden.

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.

Read this post to learn how Baylor College of Medicine’s Human Genome Sequencing Center migrated its Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to a secure, hybrid cloud environment in collaboration with AWS. The migration strengthened the system’s reliability, improved security, lowered costs—all while laying the groundwork for future growth.

What if paper forms could be processed at the same speed as digital forms? What if their contents could be automatically entered in the same database as the digital forms? Medicaid agencies could analyze data in near real-time and drive actionable insights on a single dashboard. Whether a provider submits claims electronically or on paper, the claim could be adjudicated using the same process and analyzed the same way, saving both time and money. AI and ML services from AWS allow Medicaid agencies to create this streamlined solution. Moreover, AWS enables the adoption of solutions like this by providing no code or low code serverless services. Read this post to learn more
