Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently launched two new services focused on the healthcare sector, powered by generative AI technology. The services, known as Amazon HealthLake and Amazon Comprehend Medical, are expected to provide healthcare providers with a set of tools that will enable them to provide better care to their patients.
Amazon HealthLake is a cloud-based repository solution that offers healthcare organizations the ability to securely store and analyze the large amounts of patient data collected by modern medicine. The service uses natural language processing and machine learning to have the data pre-hydrated and categorized so that healthcare teams have easier access to the information they need. According to AWS, HealthLake will be able to detect patterns and make predictions related to the health of their patients, helping healthcare providers to make better decisions about treatment.
Amazon Comprehend Medical is a machine-learning service that helps healthcare providers to extract and prioritize relevant medical information from unstructured data. The service can read documents such as lab reports and medical histories and accurately identify patient information such as diagnoses and medications. By helping to identify this data, Comprehend Medical will enable healthcare teams to better assess patient health, more effectively coordinate care, and increase the speed of diagnosis and treatment.
Both of these services are powered by AWS’s generative AI technology, which is designed to make better predictions and improve applications that use natural language and machine learning. AWS states that its generative AI technology will be able to provide healthcare organizations with better insights and a more comprehensive view of each patient’s health.
The launch of these two new services marks an important milestone in the healthcare sector, as healthcare teams are now being provided with powerful tools to inform their patient care decisions. It is expected that these services will help healthcare providers to provide more accurate diagnosis and quicker treatments for their patients, ultimately allowing them to be better equipped to handle the increasing demands of modern medicine.
