RaySearch Containerizes Cancer Treatment Solution on Amazon ECS
Project Achtergrond
Stockholm-based RaySearch is a leading provider of software to advance cancer treatments. The company works closely with oncological clinics around the world, with more than 700 customers in 40 countries. Clinics rely on RayStation, the company’s on-premises treatment planning solution, to generate and evaluate radiation therapy treatment plans. After releasing RayIntelligence, RaySearch's oncology analytics system on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the next step was to integrate its RayStation system and make it easier for clinics to derive insights from their patient and treatment data. Windows containers on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) was the answer.
Probleemstelling van het project
RayStation is a treatment planning system typically deployed on premises to help clinicians and oncologists create and evaluate a patient’s radiation therapy treatment plans. Anonymized data from previous patients provide insights about the efficacy of different treatment levels. Using RayStation, clinics extracted this data, but the speed and scalability of their analysis depended on their on-premises IT infrastructure, which varied significantly. With RayIntelligence on AWS, RaySearch was able to leverage the speed and scale of the cloud to help clinics seamlessly turn data into insights. The challenge was bringing RayStation along, ensuring the Windows application was integrated with the new cloud-based analytics solution.

Doelstelling van het project
Because the AWS compliance program aligns with strict guidance set forth in HIPAA, HITRUST, and General Data Protection Regulation, RaySearch can focus on developing software solutions that advance cancer treatment. The company’s product roadmap currently includes a list of features that stretch out well into the future. “We operate in a highly regulated industry where data protection is absolutely essential,” Asaf said. “Out of the box, Windows Containers on Amazon ECS offered a level of data portability and traceability that was fully compliant.”
