MedTech startup MICIN chooses AWS managed services for high-agility development and business growth

Since its establishment, MICIN has used AWS to power its services and business IT infrastructure and provide the application and data platforms for curon. The company chose AWS because of the ease with which AWS engineers can be employed and its wealth of managed services. “We wanted to release high-quality services quickly, so AWS was the best choice,” says Ryushi Shiohama, Head of Engineering and Design. “And with our business and services growing rapidly, AWS’ scalability and load balancers were also enticing.” 

Additionally, IT system security is critical for MICIN as a healthcare provider. The company positions security measures as the cornerstone for business growth and promotes “proactive security” through guidelines, public information dispatches, and educational activities for medical institutions. In 2021, MICIN began using Amazon OpenSearch Service as a Security information and event management (SIEM) to visualize AWS logs and bolstered its use of AWS security services.

As you can see, AWS is a core part of MICIN's business. “AWS is critical for MICIN: it lets us to develop and release products quickly and with agility,” says Hara. “We have a great deal of confidence in AWS as we deal with sensitive information such as a patient’s medical records.”

Service development teams appreciate the slew of managed services that AWS constantly releases and trust AWS’s support from competent personnel and solution architects. “All of the new managed services are outstanding, and I’m always excitedly anticipating new ones,” says Shiohama. “AWS personnel understand our business characteristics and constantly introduce us to new services, so we want to leverage AWS to an even greater degree.”
