Amazon CloudFront announces cross-account support for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) origins, enabling customers to access VPC origins that reside in different AWS accounts from their CloudFront distributions. With VPC origins, customers can have their Application Load Balancers (ALB), Network Load Balancers (NLB), and EC2 Instances in a private subnet that is accessible only through their CloudFront distributions. With the support for cross-account VPC origins in CloudFront, customers can now leverage the security benefits of VPC origins while maintaining their existing multi-account architecture.

Customers set up multiple AWS accounts for better security isolation, cost management, and compliance. Previously, customers could access origins in private VPCs from CloudFront only if CloudFront and the origin were in the same AWS account. This meant customers who had their origins in multiple AWS accounts, had to keep their accounts in public subnets to get the scale and performance benefits of CloudFront. Customers then had to maintain additional security controls, such as access control lists (ACL), at both the edge and within regions, rather than benefiting from the inherent security of VPC origins. Now, customers can use AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) to allow CloudFront access to origins in private VPCs in different AWS accounts, both within and outside their AWS Organizations and organizational units (OUs). This streamlines security management and reduces operational complexity, making it easy to use CloudFront as the single front door for applications.

VPC origins is available in AWS Commercial Regions only, and the full list of supported AWS Regions is available here. There is no additional cost for using cross-account VPC origins with CloudFront. To learn more about implementing cross-account VPC origins and best practices for multi-account architectures, visit CloudFront VPC origins.

Crear soluciones de salud mental en conjunto

Por: Ebele Okoli, gerente del programa de negocios de accesibilidad.

La salud mental es importante, en todas partes, para todos. Más de mil millones de personas viven con problemas de salud mental y el acceso a la atención se mantiene como uno de los mayores desafíos a nivel mundial. Cuando las soluciones digitales son creadas en conjunto por personas que han vivido experiencias y quienes brindan apoyo de salud mental, pueden tener un impacto significativo. En la conmemoración del Día Mundial de la Salud Mental, quisimos destacar las colaboraciones entre sectores y disciplinas que amplían el acceso al poner la salud mental en el centro de la innovación. 

Prácticas recomendadas en el escalamiento del diseño

En 2024, el Centro Nacional para el TEPT del Departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos comenzó a rediseñar su aplicación insignia de salud mental, PTSD Coach, a través de la Guía de Diseño Inclusivo para la Salud Mental y un estudio de usuarios de participantes durante momentos de alto estrés. El rediseño tenía como objetivo mejorar la accesibilidad para las personas con angustia aguda, para simplificar las funciones y agregar herramientas diseñadas para la desescalada emocional y la regulación para apoyar mejor a los veteranos que viven con TEPT. 

El Centro Nacional para el TEPT es reconocido por su investigación innovadora sobre el trastorno de estrés postraumático y el estrés traumático.  Como el mayor proveedor de servicios de salud mental en los Estados Unidos, el trabajo del Centro es fundamental: casi uno de cada cuatro veteranos que buscan atención a través del sistema de salud de VA vive con TEPT. Para ayudar a satisfacer la necesidad, ofrecen un conjunto de aplicaciones complementarias de autoayuda y tratamiento, que empoderan a los veteranos y sus familias con herramientas accesibles para controlar los síntomas, desarrollar resiliencia y conectarse con la atención cuando la necesitan.

Estar donde las personas nos necesitan

La IA puede ayudar a llevar herramientas de salud mental a comunidades de todo el mundo. iWill GITA es el primer compañero de salud mental de IA generativa controlado del mundo, diseñado para servir a personas que hablan hindi y basado en Azure. En India, la cantidad de personas que necesitan atención supera con creces el tratamiento disponible, hasta una brecha del 80 por ciento. Desde su lanzamiento en 2024, GITA ha llegado a más de 40,000 personas y está en camino de escalar a 100,000 para fin de año, lo que amplía el acceso en la India rural y urbana con soporte para los principales dialectos hindi. 

En un inicio, iWill brindaba servicios de asesoramiento basados en texto a través del chat. La aplicación recién lanzada ahora admite interacciones de voz, seguridad mejorada y capacidades generativas que brindan intervenciones terapéuticas e interacciones empáticas y de apoyo informadas por pautas clínicas. En el piloto de la experiencia habilitada por voz, 500 participantes de diversos orígenes socioeconómicos fueron evaluados por medio de PHQ-9 y GAD-7, para detectar depresión y ansiedad, y ninguno recibió terapia concurrente. Después de cinco sesiones, el 85% de los participantes alcanzaron los rangos clínicos típicos, mientras que los participantes restantes mostraron una mejora significativa. Los comentarios fueron bastante positivos: 458 participantes dijeron que la experiencia se sintió conversacional y de apoyo, y 42 la describieron como una fuente de apoyo profundamente significativa.

Consideraciones de salud mental en M365

Microsoft Teams y Outlook ahora incluyen características diseñadas con foco en la salud mental. En Teams, los chats y los canales ahora se combinan en una fuente simple y organizada. Este cambio les da a las personas la opción de elegir la vista que mejor les funcione para minimizar las distracciones. En Outlook, Copilot Coach brinda comentarios en tiempo real sobre los correos electrónicos, lo que ayuda a las personas a sentirse más seguras y claras al comunicarse. Ambas características fueron creadas en conjunto con personas que experimentan ansiedad y estrés, para brindar un diseño más accesible para todos. 

Avanzar juntos

La salud mental es esencial. Desde veteranos que acceden a apoyo justo a tiempo, hasta personas en la India rural que encuentran atención a través de la IA, hasta herramientas cotidianas como Teams y Outlook que reducen el estrés en el trabajo, estos ejemplos muestran lo que es posible cuando diseñamos con empatía e inclusión en el centro. Al continuar con la creación en conjunto, de soluciones con aquellos con experiencia vivida, podemos transformar el acceso, mejorar los resultados y construir un futuro en el que la salud mental se priorice en todas partes, para todos.
