The key to meaningful progress in key global healthcare initiatives, like value-based care, reduction in costs, reduction of errors, and improving outcomes, lies within the vast quantity of data from sources ranging from medical imaging to electronic medical records. IDC projects the total universe of healthcare data to grow approximately 400% between 2020 and 2025, […]

Advances in life sciences and healthcare IT have rapidly improved patient care and increased efficiency across the industry. As a result, life sciences and healthcare disaster recovery planning has become an even greater concern for medical providers, insurers, pharmaceutical companies, and other life sciences and healthcare-related organizations. They understand the importance of preventing data loss […]

The following article originally appeared on WSJ. Whether based on your family history, your choices, your risk factors, or socioeconomic factors, healthcare is deeply personal at the individual level. “But,” says Laurent Rotival, SVP of strategic technology solutions and chief information officer at Cambia Health Solutions, “it’s not at all personal at the systemic level.” […]

AWS and the National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) are happy to announce that the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) – one of the world’s largest repositories of raw next generation sequencing data, will be freely accessible from Amazon S3 via the Open Data Sponsorship Program (ODP). The SRA is currently […]

2020 has taught us all a thing or two about adapting to change. Working, meeting with friends, and even doctors’ visits have all gone virtual. AWS re:Invent 2020 was no exception. Our premier event for the year, typically held over the course of one week in Las Vegas, was transformed into a multi-week virtual experience, […]

Medical imaging has transformed healthcare in a way that allows clinicians to identify diseases, make better diagnosis, and dramatically improve patient outcomes. Digital medical images have several modalities including ultrasound, X-ray, computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) scans, positron emission tomography (PET) scans, retinal photography, histology slides, and dermoscopy images. Recent developments in […]

Hospital systems are dynamic, fast-paced, and challenging environments to manage. There are vastly different areas from emergency departments to walk-in clinics, where seamless, secure, and efficient interactions must occur in order to achieve optimal patient satisfaction, care delivery, staff productivity, and the utmost safety. Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems and other Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) […]

AWS Genomics has released a new whitepaper, Genomics Data Transfer, Analytics, and Machine Learning using AWS Services, that provides essential information and guidance on how to build a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platform using AWS services, from instrument to interpretation. Accompanying the new whitepaper are three solutions, developed based on feedback from AWS life science […]
