How federal agencies can optimize document processing using advanced AI with human oversight
Federal agencies typically collect, manage, use, and distribute a wide array of documents. Storing and distributing federal agency documents is often a complicated process; documents can range from structured formats to free-flowing documentation with personal identifiable information (PII) that needs careful redaction. And because federal agencies cover a wide breadth of domains, it is challenging to develop a one-size-fits-all approach for document processing. In this post, we explore an example of how a federal agency can use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to design and deploy a solution that addresses this document processing challenge.
Battling the food security crisis with Agents for Amazon Bedrock
The 2024 version of the United Nations (UN) annual report “The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World” found that about 29.6 percent of the global population, or about 2.4 billion people, were moderately or severely food insecure in 2022, meaning they did not have adequate access to food. Food security can be caused by a number of factors, including poverty, inflationary factors, violent conflict, and the effects of climate change. In this post, we demonstrate how generative artificial intelligence (AI) can help organizations better understand the food security crisis.
Using ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Engine on Amazon EMR to predict rideshare demand
Rideshare demand prediction is a well-explored topic in academia and industry, with abundant online resources offering diverse modeling frameworks tailored to different geographic contexts. A challenge with rideshare demand prediction, however, is that the trip data required to calibrate or train models can be exceptionally large. In this post, we explore the challenges of big data analytics and showcase how ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Engine, a spatial analytics library for the Apache Spark environment, can be used on Amazon EMR to effectively address these problems.
University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust digitizes and improves patient experience with AWS
Like many healthcare providers, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust, which manages two major hospitals and serves a population of more than one million, has operated with legacy technology that relies heavily on phone calls and manual processes for contacting patients. Recognizing an opportunity to modernize, the Trust linked up with IBM Consulting for an innovative pilot project to digitize patient engagement channels using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Acentra Health processes 35M Medicare documents 50% faster with IDP on AWS
Acentra Health helps Medicare beneficiaries file quality of care complaints and appeals regarding early hospital discharge or early termination of skilled services. Processing these cases requires meticulous data entry from patient records and forms related to prior authorization notices, patient care, and case management, which often consist of complex medical history. To better support its clients, Acentra Health implemented an intelligent document processing (IDP) solution using Amazon Web Services (AWS). Read this post to learn how their IDP solution reduced document processing times and lowered costs.
Elevating internal customer support at Thorn with AWS: A generative AI use case
Efficiently addressing internal customer support tickets can profoundly impact an organization’s productivity and employee well-being, apart from their ability to focus on the mission at hand. To meet these demands, many nonprofits, such as Thorn, are turning to innovative technology solutions. In this post, we explore how Thorn used Amazon Web Services (AWS) in conjunction with generative artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize their internal customer support for organization-wide IT, security, and engineering.
How to use AWS Wickr to enable healthcare workers to interact with generative AI
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Wickr is an end-to-end encrypted messaging and collaboration service with features designed to keep internal and external communications secure, private, and compliant. In this post, we present an architecture that uses the Wickr messaging solution for protected communication with a generative AI backend system, which uses an existing open source project: the AWS GenAI Chatbot.

Improving constituent experience using AWS-powered generative AI chatbots
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) can transform the experience of state and local government constituents. With Amazon Lex, you can design and build sophisticated voice and text conversational interfaces, deploy omnichannel experiences with pre-built integrations to contact center solutions, and pay only for speech and text requests with no upfront costs or minimum fees. This post provides a technical walkthrough for building a generative AI chat-based solution.
Building a secure and low-code bioinformatics workbench on AWS HealthOmics
Singapore General Hospital (SGH), SingHealth Office of Academic Informatics (OAI), and Amazon Web Services (AWS) collaborated to develop a cost-effective, scalable cloud infrastructure that enables researchers to perform their own analyses on a centrally secured and compliant cloud platform. AWS HealthOmics offers a suite of services that help bioinformaticians, researchers, and scientists to store, query, analyze, and generate insights from genomic and other biological data. Read this post to learn more about the three primary components of HealthOmics used in the solution.
