AWS HealthOmics

Managed bioinformatics workflows for storing, querying, and analyzing genomic and omics data at scale.

Overview

AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible managed service from Amazon Web Services designed to support genomic, transcriptomic, and other omics data workloads. It is aimed at organizations working in clinical diagnostics, drug discovery, and agricultural research who need to run bioinformatics workflows at scale without managing the underlying infrastructure.

The service handles compute resource management and workflow engine maintenance, allowing teams to focus on scientific analysis rather than infrastructure operations. It supports industry-standard workflow languages and is designed to process data from tens of thousands of tests per day with predictable per-sample costs.
