AWS Healthcare Accelerator

What they do

Launched in 2021, the AWS Healthcare Accelerator is a highly differentiated, four-week program designed to help healthcare startups scale using the cloud. Instead of a generic approach, AWS runs thematic cohorts-such as Health Equity, Global Workforce Development, and Aged Care-partnering with specialized ecosystem leaders like KidsX, AlchemistX, and ANDHealth to deliver the curriculum. The program is distinctive because it takes zero equity, focusing entirely on driving AWS cloud adoption, optimizing technical architecture, and connecting founders with AWS's vast network of healthcare enterprise customers and partners.

What they look for

The accelerator's mission is to empower high-potential startups to solve the healthcare industry's most urgent challenges by leveraging the power of the AWS cloud. Recent themes have focused on increasing health equity, addressing clinical workforce burnout and retention, and modernizing aged care.
