Google Cloud on Tuesday announced Gemini for healthcare, an artificial intelligence tool designed to connect fragmented clinical, operational and administrative systems.
The company said the platform aims to reduce the nearly 28 hours a week clinicians spend on paperwork, which Google says fuels staff burnout and strains budgets.
Gemini for healthcare connects current software with patient medical files, payment systems, medical protocols and Medicare data, according to Google. The company stated that the AI system handles complex, multi-step workflows, such as synthesizing medical records and reviewing prior authorizations. Google noted the tool operates within defined guardrails and includes appropriate human oversight.
The product is initially available in preview alongside launch partners HCA Healthcare, Highmark Health and Northwell Health, the company said.
