InterSystems Named Launch Partner For Google Cloud’s Gemini For Healthcare

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- InterSystems will serve as a launch partner for Google Cloud’s Gemini for healthcare, connecting the artificial intelligence (AI) service to the InterSystems IRIS FHIR Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

“Healthcare organisations are looking for practical ways to apply AI to their data without compromising security, governance, or interoperability.

“By connecting Gemini for healthcare with InterSystems IRIS FHIR MCP, we are establishing a trusted bridge between advanced AI and the health information these organisations rely on,” said InterSystems president, Don Woodlock in a statement.

Meanwhile, Google Cloud Global Managing Director of Healthcare, Aashima Gupta said the shift from passive chatbots to agentic workflows depends entirely on interoperability, adding that an AI agent is only as safe and competent as the pipeline feeding it.

The integration will allow healthcare organisations to give AI assistants and agents governed access to data stored in FHIR, a widely used standard for exchanging health records. MCP-enabled AI tools will be able to search, read, create, update and manage healthcare data through the connection.

Founded in 1978, Boston-based InterSystems is a privately held creative data technology provider serving healthcare, finance, manufacturing and supply chain customers in more than 80 countries. Its technology powers more than one billion health records worldwide.
