Healthcare organizations face pressure to innovate rapidly while managing rising costs, addressing workforce shortages, and navigating complex regulatory requirements. At the same time, they must modernize legacy systems, improve patient outcomes, and enhance operational efficiency—all while maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance. The traditional procurement process for healthcare technology has been a significant barrier to innovation. Lengthy contract negotiations, complex legal reviews, and siloed purchasing decisions can delay critical technology deployments by months or years. In an industry where timing can directly impact patient outcomes, this friction impedes necessary progress. AWS Marketplace is helping change this reality.

Every year, an estimated 3 million Americans receive home healthcare services. These programs often improve health outcomes, but they also carry risks. Patients may fall, miss medications, or face complications that lead to hospitalization. Researchers at Columbia University’s School of Nursing are exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) could help predict and prevent such events.

Pearson Clinical Assessments, a leader in psychological and educational testing, saw an opportunity to use cloud technology to transform how clinicians assess and support students. Working with AWS, Pearson developed two solutions: the Digital Assessment Library for Schools (DALS) and Revibe, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered wearable technology designed to enhance focus and attention. The goal was clear: to help time-pressed clinicians work efficiently while still serving each student as an individual.

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.

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.

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 ten 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.
