The NHS faces challenges in managing the growing volume and complexity of medical imaging data, including limited storage capacity, access to images, and medical image specialist shortages. AWS offers scalable and cost-effective cloud storage solutions, enabling secure data sharing and collaboration across healthcare organizations. Additionally, AWS integrates advanced analytics and machine learning capabilities to optimise imaging workflows and improve patient outcomes.
This brochure highlights how AWS and its partners, have developed purpose-built solutions on the AWS platform to meet the specific needs of the NHS for medical imaging. These cloud-based solutions allow NHS trusts to transition their imaging services to the AWS cloud, leveraging the reliability, security, and scalability of the platform.
By adopting AWS-powered medical imaging solutions, the NHS can enhance accessibility, productivity, and the use of AI-assisted diagnostics, leading to better patient care and more efficient imaging departments.
