Babylon Health Builds on AWS to Bring Accessible and Affordable Health Services to All

Bringing accessible and affordable healthcare to remote or otherwise isolated populations can present logistical, circumstantial, and other challenges. Babylon Health is using Amazon Web Services (AWS) artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud capabilities to address those challenges.

Babylon Health seeks to address challenges to healthcare access through its mobile application, which connects users to healthcare services while preserving valuable healthcare resources. The app thus reduces the need for users to travel from remote locations—or to come out of self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic—to see a doctor. “It is time to change the way we’ve been delivering healthcare. It is possible to do so when organizations like AWS make the cloud so widely available—to mobile networks, to the technology companies out there that have provided so much of the infrastructure we need,” says Dr. Ali Parsa, CEO and founder of Babylon Health.

Through its technology supported by AWS AI and cloud capabilities, “Babylon can monitor, observe, and take insights from the behavior of our members so that we can see their issues before they develop to help them stay healthier," says Parsa. "On the other hand, when they do run into problems, we automate as much as possible what our doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals have to do so that they can focus on the top of their licenses.”
