In today’s digital world, ensuring the security of information is essential. One common scenario where data security is crucial is when files from external sources are received by an organization. While Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) provides robust security features like the default encryption of all uploaded files, there are scenarios where it’s important to ensure that the incoming files are free from any kind of malware, such as viruses, before they are processed or stored inside the organization.

In 2023, the students from Redback Racing at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) wove together their many disciplines of engineering prowess to create their latest cars: RB23 and RB21-D. After developing and going live with their real-time telemetry system on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the team has placed as the highest-ranking Australian squad in the electric vehicle (EV) division of the Australasia Formula SAE competition, placing second overall.

Federal agencies typically collect, manage, use, and distribute a wide array of documents. Storing and distributing federal agency documents is often a complicated process; documents can range from structured formats to free-flowing documentation with personal identifiable information (PII) that needs careful redaction. And because federal agencies cover a wide breadth of domains, it is challenging to develop a one-size-fits-all approach for document processing. In this post, we explore an example of how a federal agency can use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to design and deploy a solution that addresses this document processing challenge.

The 2024 version of the United Nations (UN) annual report “The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World” found that about 29.6 percent of the global population, or about 2.4 billion people, were moderately or severely food insecure in 2022, meaning they did not have adequate access to food. Food security can be caused by a number of factors, including poverty, inflationary factors, violent conflict, and the effects of climate change. In this post, we demonstrate how generative artificial intelligence (AI) can help organizations better understand the food security crisis.

In Modernizing tax systems with AWS, we briefly touched upon infrastructure and application modernization using microservices and serverless architectures. We hear from multiple tax and labor agencies about their desire to move to API-based architectures and adopt new technologies. In this post, we dive deeper into these areas and discuss benefits, approaches, and best practices for building modern tax and unemployment insurance (UI) applications using microservices.

Like many healthcare providers, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust, which manages two major hospitals and serves a population of more than one million, has operated with legacy technology that relies heavily on phone calls and manual processes for contacting patients. Recognizing an opportunity to modernize, the Trust linked up with IBM Consulting for an innovative pilot project to digitize patient engagement channels using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Acentra Health helps Medicare beneficiaries file quality of care complaints and appeals regarding early hospital discharge or early termination of skilled services. Processing these cases requires meticulous data entry from patient records and forms related to prior authorization notices, patient care, and case management, which often consist of complex medical history. To better support its clients, Acentra Health implemented an intelligent document processing (IDP) solution using Amazon Web Services (AWS). Read this post to learn how their IDP solution reduced document processing times and lowered costs.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) can transform the experience of state and local government constituents. With Amazon Lex, you can design and build sophisticated voice and text conversational interfaces, deploy omnichannel experiences with pre-built integrations to contact center solutions, and pay only for speech and text requests with no upfront costs or minimum fees. This post provides a technical walkthrough for building a generative AI chat-based solution.

Singapore General Hospital (SGH), SingHealth Office of Academic Informatics (OAI), and Amazon Web Services (AWS) collaborated to develop a cost-effective, scalable cloud infrastructure that enables researchers to perform their own analyses on a centrally secured and compliant cloud platform. AWS HealthOmics offers a suite of services that help bioinformaticians, researchers, and scientists to store, query, analyze, and generate insights from genomic and other biological data. Read this post to learn more about the three primary components of HealthOmics used in the solution.

The process of transcribing video or audio files has traditionally been manual and time-consuming. Beyond the need for accurate and cost-effective transcriptions, attorneys have determined a need for timestamping capabilities, speaker identification, search and replace capabilities, the highlighting of specific words, editing capabilities, and most importantly, shortened turnaround times.To address the need for quicker and more accurate transcription of audiovisual files, the Contra Costa County (CCC) District Attorney’s (DA) Office reached out to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and partnered with AWS Partner ScaleCapacity to develop a solution that would automate the manual transcription process.
