AWS And HealthCARE
ClosedLoop.ai
Healthcare organizations are navigating a digital “perfect storm.” They are faced with an industry-wide data tsunami, a need for digital transformation, and an unprecedented shift into business models that reward value over volume and outcomes over activity. These changes are motivating payers and providers to find ways to proactively manage the health of their populations, which begins with finding ways to identify and predict high-risk individuals.
ClosedLoop.ai’s Solution
In one of its more recent efforts, ClosedLoop.ai developed and released the COVID-19 Vulnerability Index (C19 Index), a free open-source tool designed to help healthcare organizations identify and protect individuals who are most vulnerable to COVID-19. The C19 Index does not predict who will become infected with COVID-19 or identify where the virus might spread. Instead, it was created to help identify people with a heightened risk of severe complications should they become infected. When it was built, and because no data on COVID-19 cases was available, the C19 Index was developed using a surrogate endpoint for similar proxy events (e.g., pneumonia or influenza). It calculates vulnerability as a person’s near-term risk of severe complications from these respiratory infections. The response to the tool has been overwhelmingly positive. Since its launch, it has been downloaded and used by healthcare organizations serving more than 10 million people in the United States.
Benefits of Using AWS
The ClosedLoop.ai platform is a healthcare-specific, cloud-based, automated machine learning platform that enables rapid experimentation in a collaborative environment. Every step in the machine learning pipeline — from data cleanup, normalization, feature creation, model training, hyperparameter tuning, and explainable calculations to deployment and ongoing monitoring — requires substantial cloud resources. AWS brings significant expertise in cloud infrastructure and architecture and a robust, HIPAA-compliant environment that is critical to ClosedLoop.ai’s AI solutions, which allows ClosedLoop.ai to focus on data science and the needs of its customers.
About ClosedLoop.ai
ClosedLoop.ai is healthcare’s data science platform. It makes it easy and affordable for healthcare organizations to use data science to improve health, reduce costs, and change the experience of care. It is committed to bringing healthcare organizations the power to predict health outcomes in ways that are highly accurate and easily explained and to help them learn what interventions work and for whom.
