The cloud giant is expanding its collaboration with the Children’s Brain Tumor Network, which includes children’s hospitals from across the globe, at the three clinical sites. The project will allow for near real-time sharing and analysis of EHR, imaging and genomic data for clinicians and researchers developing new therapies for pediatric brain cancers.

“We’re confident the combined expertise of this team and power of the cloud can accelerate research in this space and hopefully apply to other cancers in support of the cancer moonshot’s goal of ending cancer as we know it,” said Ken Harris, academic medicine and state and local government healthcare provider lead at Amazon Web Services, in a Dec. 8 blog post from the tech company.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
