Transforming Healthcare: The Impact of AI and Data

Generative AI offers significant potential to reduce clinician burnout, enhance patient experiences, and improve health outcomes by automating tasks and providing insights into patient data. At the AWS Summit, experts highlighted the critical importance of high-quality data for AI success in healthcare.

Dr. Naqi Khan, AWS’s Physician Executive for Generative AI, emphasized that data quality is essential for effective AI applications. Despite hospitals generating 50 petabytes of data annually, 97% remains unutilized due to its unstructured nature. Dr. Khan urged healthcare leaders to prioritize data quality and seamless integration.

AWS provides healthcare organizations with vital tools such as HealthLake, HealthImaging, HealthOmics, and HealthScribe, enabling secure data storage, robust analysis, and collaborative sharing. These solutions help reduce biases and foster innovation in medical research and care delivery.

By treating data as a core asset and adopting federated data approaches, healthcare entities can develop advanced AI models that transform healthcare delivery and decision-making.
