EHR Vendor Cerner Turns to Amazon Web Services for AI Development

We have reached the point when one of our major EHR vendors,Cerner, has come to understand that it can no longer rely on its own internal resources for AI and predictive analytics development (see:Cerner builds machine learning platform on Amazon Web Services). AI has become so sophisticated that EHR vendors like Cerner can't hope to compete in the field without support from experts such as those working for EWS. An excerpt from this article is presented below: In July...[Cerner] named AWS its preferred cloud provider. Under the agreement, Cerner is transitioning its artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads toAWS to develop predictive technology. The new platform, called Cerner Machine Learning Ecosystem, was built using several Amazon services and includes machine learning services Amazon Transcribe and Amazon Translate, among others.With the platform, developers will be able to create chatbots that give patients access to their personal medical records as well as the ability to ask questions about their medication, diagnoses and medical conditions. Cerner is also developing voice-activated documentation tools; the EHR vendor recently achieved its 500th patent with a new voice-assisted technology that supports clinician documentation.I have blogged extensively about AI technology developments in diagnostic medicine such as predictive analytics (see, for example:Three Examples of Predictive Analytics in Clinical Practice;Diagnostic and Pred...
