This release represents the first pre-release of the Streams Healthcare Analytics Platform. In this release, we have focused on helping our clients solve the data-ingest problem. The main theme is to make data-ingest easy! We have added a number of important ingest services to help clients get data into Streams. In addition, we have services to validate the platform design and to also help clients construct a meaningful application. Furthermore, decisions around schemas and normalization of terms lays initial groundwork for future improvements.
