High-performance FHIR interactions at petabyte scale
Accelerate healthcare interoperability and intelligence with AWS HealthLake, a standards-based FHIR service
What is HealthLake?
AWS HealthLake is a fully managed, HIPAA-eligible service that transforms fragmented healthcare data into a unified FHIR-based repository at petabyte scale. It provides high-throughput APIs that meet compliance requirements like CMS and ONC while maintaining sub-millisecond latency. By seamlessly working with AWS's healthcare and AI services, AWS HealthLake provides a comprehensive data infrastructure for healthcare applications, advanced analytics, ML models, and generative AI innovations, all while maintaining enterprise-grade security and eliminating infrastructure management overhead.
Capabilities
Enterprise-Grade FHIR Infrastructure
AWS HealthLake delivers high-performance FHIR R4 infrastructure that processes thousands of concurrent requests with sub-millisecond latency. With AWS HealthLake, you can seamlessly scale FHIR-based applications while maintaining regulatory compliance across all supported FHIR resources. AWS HealthLake is HIPAA-eligible and eliminates complex infrastructure management through native multi-tenancy capabilities that integrate seamlessly with AWS security services, while supporting enterprise-wide deployment.
Standards-Based Interoperability with SMART on FHIR
AWS HealthLake provides comprehensive FHIR R4 support with integrated SMART on FHIR capabilities, enabling you to build secure, standards-based applications that authenticate and authorize access to patient data. The service is designed to support regulatory compliance requirements and the SMART App Launch Framework for integration of third-party applications into clinical workflows.
Zero-ETL Intelligence
AWS HealthLake automatically transforms FHIR data into analytics-ready formats like Apache Iceberg, enabling immediate SQL-on-FHIR data access without complex data pipelines. With AWS HealthLake, you can create comprehensive member profiles that integrate claims, clinical, and social determinants data through standard SQL interfaces, establishing infrastructure for advanced analytics without requiring specialized data engineering expertise.
AI-Ready Data Foundation
AWS HealthLake incorporates built-in natural language processing to extract clinical context and ontology mappings from unstructured medical text, identifying key elements such as medications, procedures, and diagnoses from a single copy of raw health data. This provides an optimized and structured healthcare data infrastructure across AWS and third party analytics and AI services.
