Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is the most recent community-driven standard developed by HL7 for exchanging healthcare information electronically. FHIR defines a common data model and utilizes RESTfull architecture, allowing different healthcare systems to share and integrate standardized healthcare data efficiently.

The robust and passionate FHIR community plays a crucial role in driving adoption and innovation. It offers collaborative development, extensive resources, and active platforms for knowledge sharing and discussions.

Aidbox is a FHIR+ server that efficiently stores and distributes healthcare data using the FHIR standard as an extendable internal data model and provides standardized APIs, enabling different healthcare systems and applications to efficiently and securely exchange standardized healthcare information. 

Aidbox supports STU3, R4, R4B, R5. Additionally, the Health Samurai team can provide specific snapshots of the recent FHIR specification builds quickly upon request, ensuring users have access to the latest updates and resources available in the FHIR ecosystem. Please reach out to us if you need a specific snapshot.

Aidbox maintains the FHIR IG registry that allows importing and using more than 500 FHIR Implementation Guides and their dependencies out of the box. The registry includes US Core IG, mCODE IG, Da Vinci Payer Data Exchange (PDex), CARIN IG for Blue Button®, and other FHIR IGs.

Aidbox expands the existing data model by adding custom resources and extensions. Additionally, it allows you to define custom operations using your preferred technology, extending the existing functionality.

In addition to the comprehensive FHIR API, Aidbox provides multiple APIs for enhanced functionality, including:
- GraphQL API
- SQL API
- SQL on FHIR engine for flattering FHIR data
- Bulk import and export
- Reactive API and Subscriptions to execute custom logic on data changes
- Granular security and access control layers

Aidbox supports standard FHIR APIs for creating and updating resources individually or in batches, allowing you to interact with the server using standard FHIR operations like POST, PUT, and PATCH. Besides Aidbox offers advanced bulk import APIs features for efficiently loading large datasets. Check out our recent blog post here.

Aidbox's robust security features protect sensitive healthcare data and ensure compliance with regulations.

- Built-in OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect server enables secure authentication and authorization. 
- Integrations with OKTA, Azure AD, Keycloak, Conginto.
- Access Policies defined using JSON Schema, SQL, and Matcho DSL.
- Audit log

Aidbox offers a HIPAA-eligible infrastructure with technical safeguards, automated deployment options, audit logging, access control, data synchronization, and functionality for data anonymization to ensure the protection of patient health information (PHI).

Health Samurai offers support (from basic to enterprise), and professional services including Aidbox deployment and trainings, and can amplify your development team with FHIR engineers.

You can get an Aidbox development license free of charge. Additionally, Aidbox provides a sandbox environment that allows you to get an Aidbox instance up and running in just a few minutes.

Moreover, you have the opportunity to initiate a pilot project with support from Aidbox. For further information, please reach out to us.

Health Samurai Aidbox provides all the necessary functionality for deployment (including publicly available HELM charts) and maintenance (OTEL for logging, tracing and metrics, and backups). Besides, we can deploy and maintain Aidbox in your infrastructure.

Direct data access
Aidbox doesn’t hide data from you. Besides, Aidbox provides SQL API to effectively query and manage data when FHIR API is not enough.
‍
Metadata-driven architecture
Aidbox is driven by a metadata-driven architecture approach where everything, including resources, extensions, and operations, is represented as customizable data. This allows for greater flexibility and control compared to a traditional FHIR server.

Performance
‍Aidbox demonstrates exceptional performance, operating at least 10 times faster than many popular open-source FHIR servers, even with minimal hardware resources. This efficiency makes it suitable for handling heavy workloads and large datasets, crucial for mission-critical healthcare applications.

‍Operational Efficiency
‍Distributed as a Docker container, Aidbox simplifies deployment and operational processes. It requires only a PostgreSQL cluster, minimizing overhead costs associated with managing complex microservices architectures.

‍Reliability
‍Aidbox is designed for high reliability, consistently delivering dependable results across various load conditions. This makes it a robust platform for environments where reliability is paramount, such as hospitals and healthcare systems.

‍Ready-to use administrative interfaces
it is a comprehensive user interface aimed at facilitating efficient data management and interaction for users, including administrators and developers. Key components of the Aidbox UI, such as Aidbox Notebooks, REST Console, SQL console, IAM, profiles make working with Aidbox much easier and more productive.

Comprehensive APIs
In addition to the comprehensive FHIR API, Aidbox provides multiple APIs for enhanced functionality, including:
- GraphQL API
- SQL API
- SQL on FHIR engine for flattering FHIR data
- Bulk import and export
- Reactive API and Subscriptions to execute custom logic on data changes
- Granular security and access control layers
