HONG KONG, CHINA - RIAUONE.COM, - 20 November 2018 - WTT, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN) Advanced Consulting Partner, today announced the collaboration with System Aid Medical Services Limited (SAM) for the seamless migration of SAM's Hong Kong Medical Association (HKMA) Clinic Management System (CMS) onto AWS Cloud.

A press conference was held to announce the collaboration, attended by

AWS, one of the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platforms;

SAM, an Electronic Health Record (eHR) service provider recognised by the HKSAR government;

WTT, a leading ICT service provider in Hong Kong; and

Dr. Ho Chung-ping, MH, JP, President of Hong Kong Medical Association.

The collaboration for the launch of HKMA CMS signifies a breakthrough of cloud adoption for the medical sector in Hong Kong. The migration of HKMA CMS onto AWS significantly speeds up the system's operations from administration, clinical management to finance management on a secure cloud computing environment[1], allowing even safer access to the government's electronic medical records over traditional on-premise IT infrastructure.

The big data of medical histories contributed by the system users assists doctors in making faster and more accurate diagnosis and dosage decision for patients. The system also provides doctors a platform for useful real-time information sharing.

Big Data and Machine Learning Play a Paramount Role in Smart Prescription

SAM is a pioneer in CMS cloud adoption which leverages the superb computing power of AWS and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to foster intelligent and serverless next-generation clinical management, aligning to the government's Smart City goal. "SAM's CMS enriches clinical management with a pragmatic AI approach by sharing data insight in a dependable cloud environment. The journey begins today to assist doctors with optimum prescription dosage, which will be extended in the future to helping patients manage clinic waiting time, and communication of infectious disease occurrences among clinics," said Wilson Yeung, General Manager of SAM. "More opportunities will be discovered and made possible on AWS platform."

Of around a thousand private clinics in Hong Kong which adopt a clinic management system, over 200 are using SAM's HKMA CMS. The first AWS Cloud-based HKMA CMS equipped with AI capabilities is expected to commence service by the first quarter of 2019. SAM foresees a doubling of its market share in the next 12 months. SAM's HKMA CMS roadmap will be extended to cover Chinese medicine, dental, physiotherapy and psychology clinics.

"AWS is delighted to partner with WTT and SAM for Hong Kong's first AWS Cloud-based Clinic Management System (CMS), with WTT as one of the important consulting partners we work with in Hong Kong market," said David Yeh, General Manager of Ecosystem Partners, AWS Greater China Region. "AWS is thrilled to support SAM's CMS with one of the world's most reliable, secure, and scalable cloud services, designed to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare industry. By leveraging AWS's superb and reliable cloud technology, the system can build a big data lake of diagnosis and prescription records, creating the foundation for insights to help doctors make more effective dosage decision, or to identify and predict health trends."
