Google Cloud launched Gemini for healthcare, an agentic AI product that connects clinical, operational and administrative systems for hospitals and health plans. It is built on the Gemini agent and is available in preview.

Launch customers include Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Hartford HealthCare, HCA Healthcare, Highmark Health, Northwell Health, Optum and Stanford School of Medicine.

The product comes with specialized skills for tasks such as medical records synthesis, pre-appointment preparation, coverage and policy review and payer benefit determination. Its connectors offer read access to Epic and Oracle Health records while keeping each organization's role-based access controls, and link to Optum EvidenceVue and American Society of Clinical Oncology guidelines. Google said it runs multi-step workflows such as prior authorization review within guardrails and with human oversight.

Google Cloud cited a Harris Poll study it commissioned that found clinicians lose nearly 28 hours a week to documentation and administrative work.
