STG211: Case Study: Data-Heavy Healthcare: UPMCe’s Transformative Approach to Disrupting Healthcare

AWS re:Invent 2016

Today's health care systems generate massive amounts of protected health information (PHI) — patient electronic health records, imaging, prescriptions, genomic profiles, insurance records, even data from wearable devices. In this session, UPMCe dives deep into two efforts: Their 'Data Liberation Project' — a next-gen petabyte-scale software solution that provides responsible management of PHI within their own environments as well as externally, and “Neutrino” a real time medical document aggregator which utilizes natural language processing techniques to unlock hidden value from unstructured narratives. UPMC Enterprises (UPMCe), a division of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, builds technology and invests in health care companies, from new startups to large established partners, with an eye toward revolutionizing healthcare. They embody the startup mentality with a focus on innovation and creating new data-heavy applications—all in support of new spin-off companies, furthering economic development, and disrupting healthcare. Join us to learn how they do security management and governance using Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, AWS Config, AWS CloudTrail, and other Amazon services help UPMCe think big about healthcare data in the public sector.
