HAQM HealthLake, now in General Availability, is a HIPAA-eligible service that enables healthcare providers, health insurance companies, and pharmaceutical companies to securely store, transform, query, and analyze health data at petabyte scale.
HAQM HealthLake removes the heavy lifting of organizing, indexing, and structuring patient information to provide a complete view of the health of individual patients and entire patient populations in a secure, compliant, and auditable manner. Using the HealthLake APIs, healthcare and life science organizations can easily ingest health data in the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) industry standard format from on-premises systems to a secure data lake in the cloud. For organizations whose data is not yet in the FHIR standard, AWS Connector Partners, including Diameter Health, HealthLX, InterSystems, and Redox, have validated HealthLake connectors to help them convert their existing healthcare data to FHIR. HealthLake transforms unstructured data using specialized machine learning models, like natural language processing, to automatically extract meaningful medical information from the data, which can then be queried and searched. Organizations can apply advanced analytics using HAQM QuickSight and build machine learning models with HAQM SageMaker to analyze and understand relationships, identify trends, and make predictions with health data. From early detection of disease to population health trends, organizations can use their structured health data in HAQM HealthLake to conduct their own clinical data analysis to improve care and reduce costs.
HAQM HealthLake is generally available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon).
