Question
A medical company is using AWS to build a tool to recommend treatments for patients. The company has obtained health records and self-reported textual information in English from patients. The company needs to use this information to gain insight about the patients. Which solution will meet this requirement with the LEAST development effort?
Options
- AUse Amazon SageMaker to build a recurrent neural network (RNN) to summarize the data.
- BUse Amazon Comprehend Medical to summarize the data.
- CUse Amazon Kendra to create a quick-search tool to query the data.
- DUse the Amazon SageMaker Sequence-to-Sequence (seq2seq) algorithm to create a text

Explanation
Amazon Comprehend Medical is a purpose-built NLP service that extracts medical entities (diagnoses, medications, treatments, dosages) from unstructured health text with zero model training required - making it the clear winner for least development effort on health record data. Option A (SageMaker RNN) and Option D (SageMaker seq2seq) both require significant ML expertise: you'd need to collect training data, design, train, and tune a custom model, which is substantial development effort. Option C (Amazon Kendra) is a search/retrieval service - it helps users find documents but doesn't analyze or extract insights from patient data the way the question asks.
Memory tip: Think "Comprehend Medical = instant medical NLP." Whenever an AWS exam question involves extracting meaning from health text with minimal effort, Comprehend Medical is almost always the answer - it's the only AWS service specifically designed for medical language understanding out of the box.
