How AWS is helping shape their business:

AWS empowers Sonrai to accelerate precision medicine research, cutting study timelines by 50% while enabling secure, scalable data analysis.

The Opportuntiy

Before AWS, Sonrai's pipeline relied on manual processes that were time-consuming and error-prone, limiting the company’s ability to interpret vast amounts of biomedical data quickly and effectively. This created bottlenecks in therapeutic development and clinical trial analysis.

The Strategy

Sonrai implemented AWS Bedrock and AWS SageMaker to automate data processing and analysis workflows. Its solution architecture leverages AWS HealthOmics for FASTQ processing, while AWS security services ensure data protection. This comprehensive approach enables faster research timelines while maintaining compliance standards.
