Insights
This partnership represents a significant win for AWS in the competitive cloud healthcare sector, particularly as major providers increasingly target this high-growth vertical. Philips' selection of AWS as its preferred cloud provider validates Amazon's healthcare-specific capabilities and positions AWS to capture substantial recurring revenue as Philips migrates its extensive healthcare operations to the cloud.
The scale of this migration is impressive - with 134 petabytes of data already managed and plans to scale to one exabyte by 2030. This represents an extraordinary volume of data that will generate consistent, high-margin revenue for AWS. The global deployment across 200+ healthcare sites further demonstrates the partnership's substantial scope.
Most compelling is Philips' reported 36% reduction in infrastructure costs after migrating to AWS. This tangible efficiency improvement serves as a powerful customer success story that AWS can leverage to attract other healthcare enterprises considering cloud migration.
AWS's inclusion in Philips' AI strategy, particularly using Amazon Bedrock's large language models for the Tasy EMR AI Virtual Assistant, positions AWS to benefit from healthcare's accelerating AI adoption. By embedding their services within Philips' healthcare workflow solutions, AWS creates strategic lock-in that will yield long-term revenue as healthcare digitization accelerates.
This partnership exemplifies AWS's enterprise strategy: secure major industry leaders, demonstrate clear ROI, and expand service adoption over time. For Amazon, this represents exactly the type of high-value, long-term enterprise relationship that delivers sustainable growth for its cloud business.
Philips' cloud transformation with AWS carries profound implications for healthcare delivery. The migration of 34 million patient exams exclusively to the cloud over just 12 months demonstrates unprecedented scale in healthcare cloud adoption. What's particularly notable is that this represents actual production workloads - not pilots or demonstrations - indicating healthcare's increasing comfort with cloud security and compliance.
The introduction of AWS-powered AI solutions directly addresses healthcare's most pressing challenges. The Tasy EMR Virtual Assistant tackles clinical documentation burden - a leading contributor to physician burnout. By automating the capture of patient-provider conversations and pre-populating EMRs, this reduces the 4+ hours daily that clinicians typically spend on documentation tasks.
Philips' Future Health Index findings that 99% of radiology leaders face staffing shortages underscores why their exploration of generative AI capabilities with AWS is strategically significant. Workflow innovations in high-volume specialties like radiology can substantially improve throughput without requiring additional staff - a critical advantage amid persistent healthcare labor shortages.
The availability of select Philips solutions in AWS Marketplace represents an evolution in healthcare software distribution, creating a streamlined procurement path that could accelerate adoption cycles. The long-standing AWS-Philips relationship (since 2008) and Philips' role as launch customer for multiple AWS healthcare-specific services indicates this isn't merely a vendor agreement but a deep product co-development partnership.
This collaboration demonstrates how cloud computing is fundamentally transforming healthcare delivery models by enabling scalable, interoperable solutions that can be deployed globally while maintaining regulatory compliance across diverse healthcare systems.
AWS’s AI services and global infrastructure support the expansion of Philips’ healthcare informatics portfolio and product development for secure, interoperable, and data-driven healthcare
"Our deepening relationship with AWS represents a significant milestone in Philips' digital transformation journey," said Shez Partovi, chief innovation & strategy officer at Royal Philips. "By harnessing the power of AWS's AI technology and healthcare-specific services, we can more rapidly innovate and scale our digital health solutions, ultimately helping healthcare providers deliver better patient outcomes and experiences while reducing costs and improving operational efficiency."
As part of its cloud-first strategy, Philips is migrating its healthcare data, applications, and services out of its on-premises data centers and expanding its healthcare offerings globally. Working with AWS, Philips reports it has:
- Supported more than 34 million patient exams exclusively in the cloud over the last 12 months.
- Securely managed more than 134 petabytes of data in the cloud—including nearly 11 billion medical images and patient records—with plans to scale this to one exabyte of healthcare informatics images and data by 2030.
-
Scaled to run workloads in AWS Regions globally in order to deploy healthcare informatics solutions across more than 200 healthcare customer sites in
Europe ,North America , andLatin America , while improving security and complying with local regulatory standards. - Started developing its integrated diagnostics portfolio on AWS, including radiology, digital pathology, cardiology, and advanced visualization solutions, to increase scale and facilitate AI-enabled workflows.
-
Reduced infrastructure costs by up to
36% by completing several on-premises data center migrations, and connected over 1.3 million IoT devices to the cloud.
Driving Efficiency and AI-Powered Innovation
Philips is using AWS AI and other purpose-built services to reduce repetitive administrative work in its own organization, freeing up developers and product management teams to focus their deep clinical expertise on improving workflow solutions and accelerating new product development.
For instance, as medical imaging data is projected to increase significantly due to the rising prevalence of complex diseases, Philips is using AWS HealthImaging to seamlessly manage the storage, analysis, and sharing of petabyte-scale imaging data in the cloud.
Furthermore, to help doctors spend more time engaging with patients, Philips has launched the Tasy Electronic Medical Record (EMR) AI Virtual Assistant. Powered by large language models from Amazon Bedrock, the Virtual Assistant automatically captures and transcribes key conversational data between doctors and patients in real-time. This pre-populates patient charts, allowing doctors to simply review and confirm the information within the EMR following a consultation. By automating the extraction of crucial details from unstructured clinical notes, the charting and ordering process is streamlined, potentially expediting patient discharge.
Collaborating on Next Generation Solutions
The Philips Future Health Index 2024 Report shows that
"For more than a century, Philips has been a leading innovator in healthcare and beyond,” said Colleen Aubrey, senior vice president of AWS Solutions. “Philips has continued to be a pioneer in next-generation healthcare solutions, adopting cloud-based medical workloads and using more than 100 of AWS's capabilities. AWS and Philips are enabling providers to spend more time with patients and deliver better care by putting AI and cloud computing to work. Together, we aim to further accelerate the digital transformation of healthcare and drive operational efficiency.”
Philips has been an AWS Partner since 2008, was the first organization to launch a medical workload into production on AWS, and was a launch customer of AWS HealthImaging, AWS Outposts, AWS IoT secure tunneling, and AWS Snowball Edge. Philips has also made select informatics solutions, including Radiology Operations Command Center (ROCC) and HealthSuite Imaging (HSI), available in AWS Marketplace, a curated digital storefront that helps companies find, try, buy, deploy, and manage solutions from AWS Partners.
