Google added a new member to its family of artificial intelligence models — Gemini for Healthcare — an AI assistant that may help with hospital medical costs.
The big tech company launched its new AI product on Tuesday, with the stated purpose of serving as a “single, secure, governed orchestration layer” — an “always-on agent” acting as a go-between for patients and the insurance systems that hospitals use.
“Gemini provides a patient’s history across care settings, charts are prepared before the visit, and authorization packets are assembled against payer policy before submission, so fewer claims come back denied,” the press release from Google Cloud said. “Gemini ensures requests are checked against medical policy and organized for the clinical reviewer, and benefits and costs are explained to members from their own plan documents.”
Several large hospital and healthcare systems have already adopted the AI assistant. Its customers now Northwell Health, Highmark Health, HCA Healthcare, Optum, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Hartford HealthCare and Stanford School of Medicine, Fortune reported Tuesday.
As American healthcare costs keep climbing, hospitals hope the new assistance Gemini Healthcare can provide will streamline and trim expenses, the outlet reported.
