Securely aggregate multi-modal and multi-omic data at population scale in a secure and compliant-ready environment.
What's New — Multi-modal, Multi-omics Data Integration & Analysis on AWS
AWS for Health provides a curated portfolio of AWS Services and Partner solutions designed to simplify the handling and analysis of multi-modal and multi-omics data.
Data aggregation and governance solutions
Successful genomics research and interpretation depend on diverse, multi-modal datasets. AWS and AWS Partners provide solutions and services designed to simplify aggregating, storing, querying, analyzing, and governing genomics data sets, quickly linking them with clinical information. AWS also provides robust data access controls and permissions to maintain data integrity as more collaborators and stakeholders come onboard.
Data aggregation and governance use cases
Multi-modal and multi-omics
Services and solutions to enable the combination of genomic data with imaging, phenotypic, and other forms of medical data to provide a more holistic view of a patient or robust insights into an area of study. AWS Partners offer a variety of multi-omic and multi-modal tools hosted on AWS.
AWS services and solutions
Service: AWS HealthOmics
AWS HealthOmics helps healthcare and life science organizations and their software partners store, query, and analyze genomic, transcriptomic, and other omics data and then generate insights from that data to improve health and advance scientific discoveries.
Guidance: Multi-omics and multi-modal data integration and analysis on AWS
This guidance helps users prepare genomic, clinical, mutation, expression and imaging data for large-scale analysis and perform interactive queries against a data lake. It includes infrastructure as code automation, as well as an ingestion pipelines to transform the data, and notebooks and dashboards for interactive analysis.
