Description:
Google reckons it can combat increasing costs and reducing workforces by 
injecting more AI into its Vertex healthcare offering.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Google Cloud has lifted the wraps off a new generative AI search feature that 
will allow Vertex users to search data from various clinical sources, like 
FHIR data and clinical notes. 

The company says this will make it easier for medical professionals to 
connect to dots and make time-consuming tasks more efficient as the world 
battles with rising costs and diminishing resources  particularly skilled 
workers. 

Customers are being invited to sign up for early access to test the new 
functionality, but the company did not share any further information about 
general availability. Vertex AI just got an upgrade 

In a press release, the tech giant quotes a separate study that highlights 
rising administrative costs, which were up 30% year-on-year in 2022. It also 
noted that the US alone is expected to face a shortage of more than 3.2 
million frontline healthcare workers within the next five years. 

Burak Gokturk, VP and GM for Cloud AI and Industry Solutions at Google Cloud, 
said: Bringing Google-quality, gen AI search capabilities across an 
organization's entire ecosystem, including EHRs, has the potential to 
dramatically improve efficiencies, provide clinical decision support, and 
increase the quality of care clinicians can give patients. 

The update builds on Vertex AI Searchs current ability to set up 
conversational search applications by adding an additional element of 
healthcare and life sciences tuning. 

Additionally, the functionality and the tools it requires to work support 
HIPAA compliance and users remain in control of their data, which is an 
important consideration for healthcare providers and other industries of a 
similarly sensitive nature. 

The company also noted that Vertex AI Search customers will be able to use 
the features alongside Med-PaLM 2, its medically-tuned large language model.
