The partnership addresses one of the most pressing challenges in healthcare IT: fragmented and inconsistent data. By combining InterSystems’ expertise in data harmonisation, identity resolution, and interoperability with Google Cloud’s broad suite of AI-enabled analytics and search capabilities and secure infrastructure, healthcare organisations can now unlock the full potential of AI with clean, unified, and actionable data on a proven, enterprise-grade cloud platform.
AI is transforming healthcare
“AI is transforming healthcare, but it can only succeed when it’s grounded in reliable, actionable data,” said Don Woodlock, head of Global Healthcare Solutions at InterSystems.
“By integrating HealthShare into Google Cloud’s comprehensive health data and AI ecosystem, we are helping organisations ensure their data is interoperable and responsibly managed. This means providers can focus on improving workflows and delivering smarter care.”
