Every healthcare organization is working to deliver great care to more people at a lower cost. However, a general AI model is not enough to solve this challenge. Today, healthcare runs on fragmented data. Patient records, coverage policies, and clinical evidence remain trapped across disconnected records, claims systems, and administrative tools that don’t work together.

Clinicians are forced to spend nearly 28 hours a week on manually reconciling information, and patients wait for answers about their care and their coverage.

Healthcare organizations need a single, secure, governed orchestration layer that coordinates work across the systems they already run, assembling verifiable evidence and taking multi-step workflows through to completion with human oversight.

Today, we are announcing Gemini for healthcare. This purpose-built industry solution extends the universal Gemini agent, we introduced last month at Gemini at Work.Â

The Gemini agent is a single, always-on agent for work where employees delegate an objective, and the agent plans the steps, retains organizational context, and routes across the best models to deliver finished outcomes inside the tools teams already use. The Gemini agent is built with enterprise-grade identity administration, fine-grained access control, and centralized policy management directly into its runtime.

Every agent operates with a distinct identity, inherits each user’s existing role-based permissions, and enforces strict need-to-know boundaries across every user, sub-agent, and workflow.Â

Working across clinical, financial, and administrative systems, it orchestrates multi-step tasks without forcing teams to switch applications:

For providers: 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.

For health plans and payers: 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.

Gemini for healthcare is built to support HIPAA compliance, with governance running underneath it all. It’s available starting today in preview.

Developed alongside clinical and health plan leaders, Gemini for healthcare provides an integrated, fully governed environment configured for payers and providers with four core components:

Skills for healthcare work: Skills are reusable instructions and context, written by domain experts, that teach Gemini to run a specific task. Purpose-built, multi-step instructions guide the Gemini agent through essential clinical and administrative tasks, such as medical records synthesis, pre-appointment preparation, coverage and policy review, and payer benefit determination.

Each skill applies your organization’s policies and plan rules, and teams can build custom skills tailored to the workflows and standard operating procedures unique to their organization.

Connectors to clinical, financial, and operational systems: A library of connectors links Gemini directly to the EHR, claims, care management, and administrative systems organizations already run. Gemini queries each system while strictly preserving existing identity and role-based access controls, so teams get unified context without migrating sensitive data or altering permissions.
