InterSystems Taps Google Cloud To Power AI-ready Healthcare Data

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 (Bernama) -- InterSystems, the data tech firm managing over a billion global health records, has joined forces with Google Cloud to tackle healthcare’s long-standing data dilemma, fragmentation.

Unveiled at HLTH, the partnership integrates InterSystems HealthShare with Google Cloud’s artificial intelligence (AI)-driven infrastructure to create a scalable, real-time data foundation—primed for generative and agentic AI use in clinical and operational settings.

InterSystems head of Global Healthcare Solutions,  Don Woodlock said this collaboration ensures healthcare organisations get clean, connected, and actionable insights.

“AI is transforming healthcare, but it can only succeed when it’s grounded in reliable, actionable data,” he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Google Cloud global director of Healthcare Strategy & Solutions, Aashima Gupta said healthcare organisations want to adopt AI solutions that are safe, responsible, and immediately useful.

“InterSystems is delivering a platform that simplifies data preparation and enables organisations to unlock the full value of their information,” said Gupta.

The integration brings HealthShare’s strengths—like patient identity resolution, normalisation, and terminology mapping—into Google Cloud’s AI ecosystem, including BigQuery and Vertex AI.

Healthcare organisations can now build FHIR-ready datasets for large-scale analytics, deploy advanced AI models for decision support and automation, and enhance security and interoperability for safer data exchange.

Available now via a bring-your-own-licence (BYOL) model, the solution hits the Google Cloud Marketplace in North America by the first quarter of 2026, with global rollout to follow.
