In this post, we will discuss how MSBMI and CDHI joined forces to address UTHealth Houston’s reliance on faxing. The MSBMI and CDHI team—supported by UTHealth Houston Information Technology and Amazon Web Services (AWS)—built, deployed, and migrated a new solution called iDFax.

Personalized therapy for diseases such as cancer utilizes an individual’s unique genomic profile to guide treatment decisions. However, the effect and clinical significance of most genetic variants are uncertain. Accurate classification of the clinical significance of novel genetic variants requires extensive curation of peer-reviewed biomedical literature. In recent years, generative AI has demonstrated promising results in information extraction and text summarization. In this post, we explore how various AWS-native solutions can be used to create a secure, retrieval-augmented, and cost-effective biomedical chatbot designed to facilitate biocuration.

As more and more healthcare companies use their data to remain competitive, protecting patient data is as critical than ever.
