The healthcare industry is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and connected care devices. This digital revolution promises to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance the overall healthcare experience. However, it also introduces new challenges in terms of cybersecurity, privacy, and regulatory compliance. To navigate this complex landscape, healthcare organizations are turning to scalable, affordable, and highly available cloud infrastructures such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build resilient, secure, and innovative solutions.

In this post, we explore how generative artificial intelligence (AI), powered by services such as Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker, can be harnessed to meet the unique challenges of AWS GovCloud (US). We highlight use cases that demonstrate the potential of generative AI to enhance efficiency, automate workflows, and extract insights—all within a secure, compliant framework.

In today’s fast-paced and competitive business landscape, companies are constantly seeking ways to enhance efficiency, streamline operations, and provide top-notch customer service. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool to help companies achieve these goals while revolutionizing the way they interact with customers. In this post, you can read about the transformative potential of email-based virtual assistants—a standout among AI applications—powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

This post is part two of a four-part series that addresses how a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) can be a viable solution to address the challenges of digital transformation. Part two of the series focuses on the three nontechnical perspectives of the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF). Successful cloud transformations require a holistic approach that goes beyond just the technical aspects, so the AWS CAF provides a comprehensive framework to guide organizations, covering the business, organizational, and governance perspectives.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has long maintained guidelines governing the responsible management of controlled access human genomic and phenotypic data maintained in NIH-designated data repositories. Recently, the NIH updated these guidelines to align with the NIST SP 800-171 security standard, which defines a comprehensive framework for securing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). In this blog post, we will explore the specifics of the updated NIH guidance and outline how Amazon Web Services (AWS) can help customers build a compliant environment to meet these requirements.

As we look ahead to 2025, it’s crucial to maintain vigilance, especially during the holiday season, when cybersecurity risks tend to escalate. Many organizations use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enhance their security posture and improve resilience. In this post, we discuss the AWS best practices for securing your data during the holiday season.

Benefit programs like unemployment insurance are complicated and time-sensitive with weekly eligibility requirements. As a result, contact centers routinely experience high call volume that increases exponentially during economic downturns. Yet for many constituents, contact centers are the only lifeline to get the answers they need while looking for work. More than ever, agencies can benefit from AI and automation to reduce call volume, improve self-service, and empower staff productivity—not just to maintain service levels during low unemployment, but to scale and rise to the occasion of unexpected surges in demand.

Healthcare organizations face a significant challenge in making sense of the vast amounts of unstructured medical data trapped in patient records, lab results, and clinical guidelines. Approximately 97 percent of the 50 petabytes (PB) of healthcare data generated annually goes unused. This untapped resource could hold the key to improving patient care and saving valuable clinician time. Read this post learn how we built an innovative solution on Amazon Web Services (AWS) generative artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities that lets clinicians unlock this data treasure trove.

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.
