Precision medicine is a data-driven approach that considers individual variations in genetics to allow healthcare professionals to more accurately predict, prevent, diagnose, or treat different groups of people. As part of ongoing research to advance genomic research in Singapore, companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Illumina play a pivotal role in genome sequencing and analysis, and providing the tools and technology needed to analyse large-scale genomic datasets to help decode the risk factors for certain Asian-specific chronic diseases.

The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. Through this program, customers are making over 100 petabytes (PB) of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. This quarter, AWS released 39 new or updated datasets.

A multi-account strategy is important for Amazon Web Services (AWS) public sector customers because it is the foundation of cloud governance and compliance. Public sector customers using a shared account model can improve security and operational efficiency by adopting a multi-account strategy. In this post, we explore methods for existing AWS public sector customers to prepare for and migrate to a multi-account environment.

Since its launch in 2023, the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Skills to Jobs Tech Alliance has been joined by more than 650 employers and more than 970 educatio­­­nal institutions, and has engaged more than 53,000 learners with employers across 11 countries. Germany is renowned for its engineering innovation and industry strength in sectors such as automotive, manufacturing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, and this post highlights the contributions the Tech Alliance is making in the country.

During AWS re:Invent 2024, an Innovation Session presented by Worldwide Public Sector Vice President Dave Levy illustrated how AWS empowers customers to innovate and tackle critical challenges faster and more efficiently using cloud technology and generative artificial intelligence (AI). Take a few minutes to read this post and learn more about the transformative initiatives, inspiring customer stories, and technological developments that help AWS public sector customers improve life on Earth.

At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we are committed to empowering our partners to accelerate their cloud innovation journeys. Our AWS Partner Transformation Program (PTP) is an important part of this commitment, offering comprehensive assessment, training, and enablement to help our public sector partners build successful and profitable AWS-based businesses.

Satellite Resiliency for AWS Outposts offers a comprehensive, Partner-managed solution for resilient cloud-connected edge computing that extends the reach of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to the most remote and geographically dispersed environments on earth. AWS Outposts typically run connected to a parent AWS Region for resource management, access control, and software updates. When terrestrial network connectivity between an Outpost and its parent AWS Region is unavailable, this solution routes traffic back to the parent Region over a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connection, supporting business continuity and data residency requirements.

In countries where demand for healthcare outweighs available resources, and populations are spread out in remote locations, open source technologies using Amazon Web Services (AWS) can transform providers’ and patients’ experience. Bahmni, an open source electronic medical records (EMR) system is one that we have pioneered. It gives doctors rapid access to up-to-date health records and test results so that they have better information and more time for patient care. A system that started in a single hospital in a remote part of central India is now used by more than 500 hospitals in 50 countries.

Because more than two-thirds of service members who die by suicide have no history of mental illness or suicidal ideation, Stop Soldier Suicide (SSS) started the Black Box Project in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Professional Services. Launched as an early prototype to identify data from devices of those lost to suicide, the project is an effort to gain better insight into the warning signs of suicide in veterans to help support suicide postvention, intervention, and ultimately prevention.
