Philips has expanded its partnership with Amazon Web Services to bring its imaging to the cloud and integrate it with generative artificial intelligence.
The move of Philips HealthSuite Imaging to Amazon's cloud platform is designed to speed up diagnosis and treatment for radiologists and other clinicians, improve patient outcomes, and reduce medical imaging costs. It will run on the Amazon HealthLake Imaging application.
"By shifting from on-premises to the cloud, we can leverage the security, reliability, and unmatched breadth and depth of AWS to support healthcare organizations in their mission to deliver high-quality care while easing the burden on their staff," said Shez Partovi, chief innovation and strategy officer and business leader of enterprise informatics at Philips, in an April 17 news release.
Philips also plans to employ the Amazon Bedrock generative AI service to boost clinical decision support, improve diagnostic accuracy, and automate administrative functions.
