Executive Overview
Google and InterSystems have partnered to deliver a streamlined and scalable Generative and Agentic AI Platform for healthcare. This partnership empowers our mutual customers to dramatically reduce the challenges of data integration and harmonization in healthcare, delivering profound optimization in time-to-value for AI innovation.
Healthcare organizations (HCOs) are under immense pressure to innovate with AI, and Google’s AI solutions demonstrate tremendous potential to transform care delivery, reduce administrative burden, and improve patient outcomes. Yet without a unified and normalized data foundation spanning clinical, claims, social determinants, and more, AI models must learn from, and operate on, incomplete, conflicting, or biased information, leading to less than optimal results and diminished return on investment.
The Google-InterSystems partnership addresses these challenges with more seamless collaboration and innovation, directly enabling customers to:
- Build a Scalable Data Foundation: Create a harmonized and FHIR-ready data foundation for research, operations, and clinical decision-making, leveraging the power of Google Cloud’s AI Optimized Infrastructure and BigQuery for massive scale analytics.
- Leverage Advanced AI: Utilize leading generative and agentic AI models, including the Gemini family of models, on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform for decision support, administrative automation, and population health initiatives.
- Improve Interoperability and Security: Enhance standards-based data exchange between existing systems to enable coordinated care, all while benefiting from Google Cloud’s industry-leading security and compliance framework.
The healthcare industry’s data complexity, compounded by disparate EHR systems, inconsistent coding standards, and identity resolution challenges, makes it exceedingly difficult to scale AI effectively without first achieving data harmonization. This paper explores how the partnership between InterSystems and Google addresses this foundational challenge, enabling healthcare organizations to unlock the full potential of Google’s AI platform through a robust, scalable, and realtime data infrastructure.
