InterSystems Joins Google Cloud as Launch Partner for Gemini for Healthcare
On Tuesday, Google Cloud launched Gemini for healthcare, an AI agent designed to unify clinical, operational, and administrative systems across hospitals and health insurers.
Clinicians lose nearly 28 hours a week to administrative paperwork, while The American Hospital Association estimates such costs account for 25% to 35% of health spending.
Launch customers include Northwell Health, HCA Healthcare, and Optum, with Google Cloud ensuring the platform complies with the Accountability Act to protect patient privacy.
While the AI summarizes records and checks benefits, Google insists that "consequential decisions remain in qualified hands," as the system does not write changes to Epic or Oracle Health.
InterSystems connects the platform to its FHIR data server, powering more than one billion health records, while support for NextGen Healthcare is due in the coming months.
