According to Google, it is not always easy for healthcare workers and medical staff to quickly find the information they need. It is sometimes a real search, especially for unstructured data, such as data about patients. That’s why the tech giant is now rolling out dedicated Vertex AI Search capabilities for healthcare and life sciences companies.

This allows organizations to work with an AI model that is trained to search for medical information from all possible sources. The new features integrate with Google Cloud’s Healthcare API and Healthcare Data Engine and include Google Care Studio’s search and aggregation capabilities.
