Prenetics&#8217; COVID-19 tests are approved and recognized by the Hong Kong<br \/>\nSpecial Administrative Region and United Kingdom governments, and supported by many global organizations<br \/>\nincluding the Hong Kong Standard Chartered Marathon, Hong Kong International<br \/>\nAirport, London&#8217;s Heathrow Airport, Cathay Pacific Airways, Delta Air Lines,<br \/>\nand the English Premier League (EPL). The breadth and depth of AWS&#8217;s cloud<br \/>\ncapabilities, including computing, developer tools, and databases, have enabled<br \/>\nPrenetics to significantly scale its testing capabilities while also making the<br \/>\ntesting process faster, more efficient, and cost effective. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the COVID-19 pandemic spread<br \/>\nworldwide, people needed quick, accurate, and easily accessible testing to<br \/>\nverify their health status, seek timely treatment, and prevent transmission. To<br \/>\nmeet this demand, Prenetics used the cloud to develop health solutions, including<br \/>\nits COVID-19 testing services, that helped people navigate the pandemic safely.<br \/>\nWith AWS&#8217;s full suite of<br \/>\ndeveloper services including AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodePipeline, and AWS<br \/>\nCodeDeploy, Prenetics has automated the building, testing, and deployment<br \/>\nphases of application development, saving time for developers to focus on inventing<br \/>\nnew health products and features. For example, Prenetics developed Circle HealthPod, a portable,<br \/>\nreusable, and rapid detection system that can test consumers for COVID-19 at<br \/>\nhome and at point-of-care locations, like hospitals, in approximately 20 minutes.<br \/>\nPrenetics is developing single-use capsules for Circle HealthPod to detect<br \/>\nother infectious diseases like influenza and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).<br \/>\nTo run these new tests and access the results, users simply use the Circle HealthPod&#8217;s<br \/>\nmobile app, which also runs on AWS. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon<br \/>\nEC2) Auto Scaling, which enables organizations to automatically add or remove<br \/>\nAmazon EC2 instances according to conditions they define, Prenetics<br \/>\nautomatically scales microservices for testing-related tasks, including user<br \/>\nregistration and test result processing. Amazon Relational Database Service<br \/>\n(Amazon RDS), a service that helps customers set up, operate, and scale a<br \/>\nrelational database in the cloud, enables Prenetics to minimize database management time and focus<br \/>\non managing the testing process. To rapidly scale based on user demand for COVID-19 tests while<br \/>\nremaining secure, Prenetics uses AWS Web Application Firewall (AWS WAF) to<br \/>\nprotect its web applications and application programming interfaces (APIs)<br \/>\nagainst common web exploits and bots that try to compromise security or consume<br \/>\nexcessive infrastructure resources. In 2020, Prenetics set up a cloud<br \/>\ninfrastructure in four days to achieve data compliance and minimize latency in<br \/>\nEurope by using AWS. Prenetics also built a digital health passport in ten days<br \/>\nin the cloud for the English Premier League, allowing all 20 football clubs to<br \/>\nconveniently and securely reveal their COVID-19 status to make training sessions and<br \/>\nmatches safer, bringing the excitement of the game back to fans worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By tapping into AWS&#8217;s array of services<br \/>\nand proven infrastructure, we accelerated COVID-19 testing with new innovations<br \/>\nand easily expanded operations globally,&#8221; said Peter Wong, CTO of Prenetics. &#8220;We<br \/>\nlook forward to using AWS&#8217;s advanced cloud capabilities, including machine<br \/>\nlearning, to further support our international customers by providing the best<br \/>\nhealthcare services.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"entity resulttitle text\">&#8220;Organizations leading the charge in healthcare and life sciences<br \/>\nuse the cloud to help improve patient care, lower costs, and advance precision<br \/>\nmedicine,&#8221; said <\/span><span class=\"entity resulttitle text0\">Robert Wang, <\/span>Managing Director, Hong Kong and Taiwan, AWS<span class=\"entity resulttitle text\">. &#8220;The COVID-19 pandemic is<br \/>\nspurring rapid innovation and transformation in the industry, and Prenetics is<br \/>\nusing the expertise and the breadth and depth of AWS&#8217;s secure, reliable, and<br \/>\nscalable cloud capabilities to transform the testing experience for both patients<br \/>\nand providers.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/2021-12-14\/110855\/prenetics-scales-health-testing-capabilities-globally-with-aws\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HONG KONG SAR &#8211; Media OutReach &#8211; 14 December 2021 &#8211; Today, Amazon Web Services (&#8220;AWS&#8221;), an Amazon.com company, announced that Prenetics, a global leader in genomics and diagnostic testing, is running its entire infrastructure on AWS, the world&#8217;s leading cloud, to provide millions of consumers globally with at-home testing.
