Google Cloud on November 10, 2026 introduced Gemini for healthcare, an industry version of the universal Gemini agent that the company introduced in October at its Gemini at Work event. CEO Thomas Kurian announced it on the Google Cloud blog. The product is available starting today in preview in the U.S.
Gemini for healthcare has four parts: prebuilt skills, connectors to clinical, financial and operational systems, an open partner ecosystem, and a governed platform with a choice of models. It is aimed at both health insurers (payers) and providers. Google's example workflows include building longitudinal patient timelines, preparing charts before visits, assembling prior-authorization packets and appeals, supporting payer reviews, and explaining member benefits.
The connectors include Epic EHR (read-only, with no write-back), Oracle Health EHR, InterSystems FHIR, Verato and Keragon. Optum's Coordination of Benefits and Network Eligibility connectors are in limited release and testing. Other named partners include TriZetto, GoodRx, Infinitus, IMO Health, BMJ, Salesforce Health Cloud, Suki, UiPath, ServiceNow, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. The American Society of Clinical Oncology's Oncology Guideline Assistant is listed as a partner agent. Integrators include Accenture, Cognizant, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC and Wipro.
HCA Healthcare, Highmark Health, Northwell Health, Optum Insight and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts are quoted in the announcement. Google says the product is built to support HIPAA compliance, and that clinical data, prompts and outputs are never used to train or fine-tune Google's foundation models. The post cites Google research finding that clinicians spend nearly 28 hours a week reconciling information by hand.
Google did not announce pricing or a general availability date. For health-tech developers, the connector list matters most: an agent working through these connectors can read records from the major EHR systems and payer data sources without a custom integration for each one.
