Today, Amazon HealthLake is excited to announce three new capabilities that simplify health data interoperability for customers using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). Launching in preview, Amazon HealthLake now supports SMART on FHIR, patient access APIs, and FHIR bulk data access. SMART on FHIR authorizes users and applications to securely access FHIR data, patient access APIs power patient and provider facing applications, and FHIR Bulk Data Access APIs enable the secure exchange of health data.

You now have the option to create an Amazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS) channel using the new Advanced-HD or Advanced-SD channel types, in addition to the original Basic or Standard channel types.

Advanced channel types allow you to select “transcode presets” that are designed to match the multiple qualities of output to network performance and viewing devices. Advanced channel types allow available renditions to be capped at a maximum quality level: HD (720p) for Advanced-HD and SD (480p) for Advanced-SD.
