Addressing health inequities requires a multi-faceted approach and a variety of solutions due to its complexities. Though technology is not a silver bullet, it can be a force multiplier for organizations building innovative cloud-based solutions to remove barriers and reduce disparities in health. Examples of cloud interventions for underserved populations can include conversational artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance community engagement, enable access to integrated health and social services, and target disparities in health outcomes. Underserved or underrepresented communities can include but are not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, disability, neurodiversity, geography, sexual orientation and gender identity.

We invite applications by organizations who are leveraging the cloud to reduce inequities in care and enhance health outcomes in any of the following three areas:

• Increase access to health services
• Reduce disparities by addressing social determinants of health
• Leverage data to promote equitable and inclusive systems of care

The maximum request per application should not exceed $250,000 in AWS Promotional Credit. We will consider applications that exceed this on a case-by-case basis, and such applications must be accompanied by a justification for the additional request.  

Next opportunity to apply is June 30, 2023.
