Google Cloud is strengthening its presence in healthcare through new health system partnerships centered on artificial intelligence and digital pathology.
Evanston, Ill.-based Endeavor Health has developed a cloud-based digital pathology model through a partnership with Google Cloud, according to an April 9 news release.
Currently, many hospitals rely on traditional methods, such as physical slides and microscopes, to examine tissue samples — a process that can be slow and difficult to share. Endeavor Health’s new model digitizes tissue samples into secure online images, enabling faster collaboration, streamlined second opinions and improved patient understanding, according to the release.
Google Cloud is also working with Pittsburgh-based Highmark Health and Edison, N.J.-based Hackensack Meridian Health, SiliconANGLE reported April 9.
Hackensack Meridian Health is using Google’s AI to reduce administrative burdens for clinicians.
“Internally, we’re using Google’s platform to build various capabilities around clinical note summarization, ways by which our clinicians can shave off time,” Sameer Sethi, senior vice president and chief AI officer of Hackensack Meridian Health, said at the Google Cloud Next 2025 event in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Highmark Health is using Google’s technology to roll out generative AI tools to more than 14,000 of its 40,000 employees.
The news follows Google Cloud’s recent partnership with Seattle Children’s, which led to the development of an AI-powered tool called Pathway Assistant. The tool is designed to help clinicians quickly access and apply critical medical information.
