Google Cloud launches Gemini for healthcare in preview

Google Cloud launched Gemini for healthcare, an agentic AI platform aimed at connecting complex clinical, financial and administrative workflows used by healthcare providers and payers, according to Fierce Healthcare. The platform is currently in preview and was developed alongside clinical and health plan leaders to support HIPAA compliance, Google said.

Platform components and access

The system has four main components: skills for healthcare work, connectors to administrative systems, an open healthcare partner ecosystem, and a secure, governed platform with open model choice. It integrates directly with electronic health records, billing systems, security and compliance platforms, clinical guidelines and workflows, coding, enterprise productivity platforms and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services datasets.

Gemini for healthcare is available in preview as of Nov. 10. Gemini Enterprise Standard and Gemini Enterprise Plus customers can access the platform and choose between per-user subscriptions and pay-as-you-go pricing.

Partners and health systems

Dozens of companies are partnering with Google on the launch, including GoodRx, Epic, IMO Health, Oracle Health, Infinitus, Suki and more. Several major health systems have also teamed up with Google, including HCA Healthcare and Northwell Health. Other organizations include Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, American Society of Clinical Oncology and Highmark Health.

UiPath announced it is a launch partner for Google Cloud’s Gemini for healthcare product, according to Investing.com. The partnership enables healthcare organizations to connect Gemini to automations and agents built on the UiPath Platform using the Model Context Protocol. Users can ask Gemini to start an automation, check its progress, or hand work to a UiPath agent without building custom integrations. The UiPath MCP Server is available in preview in Gemini for healthcare for joint customers of UiPath and Google Cloud.

Statements

Thomas Kurian, Google Cloud CEO, said: “The fundamental challenge in healthcare isn't a lack of information—it's the immense friction of making that data actionable across a highly regulated ecosystem.”

Michael Schlosser, M.D., HCA Healthcare EVP and chief clinical officer, said: “Making it easier for physicians to access and understand a patient’s medical history helps them spend less time gathering information and more time focused on patient care.”

Mark Geene, group senior vice president of Product Management at UiPath, said: “Healthcare organizations are using AI agents and automation to reduce administrative burden and improve clinical and patient care, and they have to do it without compromising compliance.”

Why it matters

The launch gives healthcare providers and payers a governed AI platform designed to connect fragmented clinical and administrative systems, with early partners spanning EHR vendors, automation companies and major health systems.
