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
