The Eshelman Institute is working across campus to improve patient care by commercializing UNC’s digital health research through novel new approaches in translation and startup creation.

The Institute partnered with Amazon AWS in 2021 to accelerate software-based research translation to a point of higher value and readiness. This partnership is enabling UNC research faculty to access the modern Amazon app architectures to make software development much easier and efficient while offering the security and scalability needed to effectively deploy HIPAA-compliant technologies at scale. Amazon is providing free training and migration services, up to $10,000 of cloud credits per project, and in-kind collaborations with their top researchers and developers launching the first successful pilot in December of 2021.
