Google Cloud Launches Gemini for Healthcare with Read-Only Epic and Oracle Health Access
Summary

CEO Thomas Kurian says connectors give read-only access to Epic and Oracle Health records, and the platform is built to support HIPAA compliance.
Key Points
- Google Cloud says clinicians spend nearly 28 hours a week manually reconciling information across disconnected records and claims systems.
- Gemini for healthcare carries four components: skills, connectors, an open partner ecosystem, and a governed platform with model choice.
- Optum Coordination of Benefits and Optum Network Eligibility connectors run in limited release and testing with Gemini for Healthcare.
