🩺 Google and Microsoft Want to Improve Healthcare with AI

Last week, Google and Microsoft both made big announcements about how they are tackling inefficiencies in the U.S. healthcare industry through AI.

Google Cloud announced AI-powered search capabilities that can help healthcare workers pull accurate clinical information from various medical records. Doctors will be able to ask questions like “What medications has this patient taken in the last 12 months?” and see relevant information in one place, as opposed to having to read through their notes, faxes, and electronic health records individually. Search results can include original source of the information to reduce the likelihood of hallucination. The new features will be offered through Google's Vertex AI Search platform.

Microsoft also announced a number of products for the healthcare industry.

• Fabric: a platform that combines data from various sources such as electronic health records, images, lab systems, medical devices, and claims systems

• Azure AI Health Bot: a chatbot can help address questions from staff and patients, like how to treat a specific disease or explain a medical term

• Azure AI Health Insights: a suite of tools to help health professional make more informed decisions, such as generating a patient timeline to help clinicians understand a patient's medical history better

It's exciting to see how AI can unlock better tools and experience for physicians and patients alike. Big tech companies will leverage their scale to build a moat, while upstarts find a stake in the ground through narrow focus and ruthless execution. Hopefully these developments will translate into better care for all.

Side note: VC investor Vinod Khosla wrote a thought piece on how AI can transform healthcare back in 2012. Worth a read if you're interested in the topic.
