Google Cloud on Thursday announced a collaboration with DeliverHealth, a clinical documentation and digital health platform. The announcement was made at the Google Cloud Startup Summit 2024 India event in Bengaluru. The strategic partnership will combine the Mountain View-based tech giant’s Gemini AI models with the health tech platform’s big data repository. Along with this, Google Cloud also shared that it is expanding the role of AI and cloud technology in India’s startup ecosystem. The objective of the expansion is to introduce AI innovations to Indian startups to promote accelerated development cycles.
Google Cloud partners with DeliverHealth
A large part of health care involves documenting the patient’s journey from diagnosis and evaluation to rehabilitation. This process involves noting down important health information about patients that forms the basis of treatment as well as follow-up visits. DeliverHealth already works in the digital health space and provides solutions to clinics to digitize such information.
Now, with this collaboration with Google Cloud, the health tech platform will combine its repository with Gemini 1.5 Pro AI models to develop unique solutions for healthcare institutions.
In a press release, the tech giant said the Gemini AI model will be trained on DeliverHealth’s extensive repository of 1,50,000 hours per month of human-curated medical notes. With this training, both entities will develop an AI model that uses medical terminology for speech recognition. It will also enable physicians to use detailed medical language and natural language processing to document patient visits.
Google claimed that this would enable doctors and other support staff to create accurate documents for the patient based on their conversations. One obvious benefit would be that doctors would be able to focus completely on patient care without worrying about the documentation process. They will be able to easily access patient documents without having to do an extensive search of the repository.
“Our collaboration with DeliverHealth is a reflection of our shared commitment to innovation through the transformative potential of GenAI by automating difficult tasks and improving efficiency and accuracy,” said Bikram Singh Bedi, Vice President and Country MD, Google Cloud India.
