Amazon Web Services launches HealthLake data analysis for health organizations

 

• Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ:AMZN) announces the Amazon HealthLake service for aggregating, normalizing, and identifying data for healthcare and life sciences organizations.
• The HIPAA-eligible service structures all of the data into the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources industry standard format.
• "With Amazon HealthLake, healthcare organizations can reduce the time it takes to transform health data in the cloud from weeks to minutes so that it can be analyzed securely, even at petabyte scale. This completely reinvents what’s possible with healthcare and brings us that much closer to everyone’s goal of providing patients with more personalized and predictive treatment for individuals and across entire populations," says Swami Sivasubramanian, VP of Amazon Machine Learning for AWS.
• Amazon has made its own push into healthcare in recent years, including the $753M acquisition of online pharmacy PillPack and the Amazon Care primary care clinics that initially launched for employees.
