HSR.health, a pioneer in geospatial health risk prediction, has partnered with AWS to launch a pilot project testing the performance, process, and pricing of fine-tuning the newly announced Amazon Nova foundation model for advanced health risk prediction. Read this post to learn more.

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently uncovered how a structure known as low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which transports “bad” cholesterol through the bloodstream, interacts with its receptor molecule to enter cells—information that has eluded researchers for decades. The findings could lead to more personalized treatments for cardiovascular disease and were enabled by cutting-edge high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure from AWS.

By using the robust capabilities within AWS GovCloud, Trackable Health has developed a comprehensive trackable solution that delivers real-time health and fitness tracking and personalized readiness scores, providing immediate feedback and AI-powered recommendations for improvement. Read this post to learn more about Trackable Health’s solution.

In this post, we discuss Health Kaki, a generative AI health companion using the Amazon Bedrock foundation model (FM), and highlight how the team that developed Health Kaki navigated the challenges of scaling from concept to real-world implementation.

In this post, we discuss the AI Genomic Schema Harmonizer, a generative AI–powered application that revolutionizes how laboratories prepare genomic data for submission to public repositories.

Connecting for Better Health (C4BH) is a nonprofit coalition focused on advancing health and social services data sharing to improve the overall health of Californians. To support this mission, AWS has awarded the 2024-2025 AWS IMAGINE Grant: Go Further, Go Faster to C4BH for their Data Exchange Framework (DxF) Community Sandbox. This grant is part of an AWS initiative to empower nonprofit organizations using technology to address global challenges and will provide vital support to enhance health and social services data sharing efforts across healthcare and social service partners.

In this post, we describe how AWS Partner CIMAR’s medical image management platform is enabling the rapid roll-out, scaling, and operation of the National Health Service (NHS) England’s national lung cancer program, connecting 124 acute NHS trusts and multiple mobile scanning units.

When Siriraj Medical Research Center planned their “Nanopore workshop: bacterial genome bioinformatics series” for more than 60 researchers, they faced a common challenge: how to provide consistent, high-performance computing environments for complex genomic analyses. AWS offered the solution through Amazon WorkSpaces, transforming how Siriraj Medical Research Center delivers hands-on bacterial genomics training.

In this post, we will discuss how MSBMI and CDHI joined forces to address UTHealth Houston’s reliance on faxing. The MSBMI and CDHI team—supported by UTHealth Houston Information Technology and Amazon Web Services (AWS)—built, deployed, and migrated a new solution called iDFax.

Personalized therapy for diseases such as cancer utilizes an individual’s unique genomic profile to guide treatment decisions. However, the effect and clinical significance of most genetic variants are uncertain. Accurate classification of the clinical significance of novel genetic variants requires extensive curation of peer-reviewed biomedical literature. In recent years, generative AI has demonstrated promising results in information extraction and text summarization. In this post, we explore how various AWS-native solutions can be used to create a secure, retrieval-augmented, and cost-effective biomedical chatbot designed to facilitate biocuration.
