Reinventing a Healthcare and Life Sciences Vision: AWS re:Invent 2024
This IDC Market Perspective summarizes key observations from AWS re:Invent 2024 held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on December 2–5, 2024. "For healthcare, AWS' announcements and innovations offer a compelling path to modernization — delivering tools well suited to improve care delivery, optimize operations, and enhance data security," says Mutaz Shegewi, senior research director, Provider IT Transformation Strategies at IDC. "From supporting mission-critical EHRs to democratizing GenAI, AWS is providing a mix of scalable infrastructure and advanced technologies that healthcare needs to disrupt and transform its workflows and experiences.""With its deep focus on life sciences, AWS is not only serving as a key infrastructure partner for the life sciences industry but also evolving to become a key capability building partner, paving the way for the life sciences industry to transform existing workflows and rapidly scale innovation. AWS' role in enabling the life sciences industry to effectively leverage GenAI was clearly front and center at AWS re:Invent 2024," said Dr. Nimita Limaye, research vice president, Life Sciences R&D, Strategy, and Technology at IDC.
