原标题：Google Cloud for Healthcare: new APIs, customers, partners and security updates
Google△Cloud’s△goal△for△healthcare△is△very△much△a△reflection△of△Google’s△overall△mission: to△organize△the△world’s△information△and△make△it△universally△accessible△and△useful. Applying△this△mission△to△healthcare△means△using△open△standards△to△help△enable△data△sharing△and△interactive△collaboration, while△also△providing△a△secure△platform. Just△imagine△if△all△healthcare△providers△could△easily, securely△and△instantaneously△collaborate△while△caring△for△you. Ultimately, we△hope△that△better△flow△of△data△will△inspire△new△discoveries△with△artificial△intelligence△(AI) and△machine△learning△(ML), leading△to△insights△that△improve△patient△outcomes.
This△week△at△HIMSS we’re△showcasing△our△progress△toward△serving△this△mission△through△our△Google△Cloud△Platform (GCP), G△Suite and△Chrome?solutions, our△work△with△customers△and△partners, and△our△focus△on△compliance△and△security.
Unlocking△data△with△the△new△Cloud△Healthcare△APIWe’ve△recently△launched△the△new△Cloud△Healthcare△API, which△addresses△the△significant△interoperability△challenges△in△healthcare△data. The△new△API△provides△a△robust, scalable△infrastructure△solution△to△ingest△and△manage△key△healthcare△data△types—including△HL7, FHIR and△DICOM—and△lets△our△customers△use△that△data△for△analytics△and△machine△learning△in△the△cloud.??
As△part△of△our△early△access△launch, we’re△already△working△with△a△group△of△customers△and△partners, including△the△team△at△the△Stanford△School△of△Medicine. Here’s△what△Somalee△Datta, Ph.D., Stanford△School△of△Medicine△Director△of△Research△IT, had△to△say△about△our△work△together:
"Open△standards△are△critical△to△healthcare△interoperability△as△well△as△for△enabling△biomedical△research. We△have△been△using the△Google△Cloud△Genomics△API△for△a△long△time△and△are△very△excited△to△see△Google△Cloud△expanding△its△offerings△to△include△the△new△Cloud△Healthcare△API. The△ability△to△combine△interoperability△with△Google△Cloud’s△scalable△analytics△will△have△a△transformative△impact△on△our△research△community."
Our△goal△with△the△Cloud△Healthcare△API△is△to△help△transform△the△healthcare△industry△through△the△use△of△cloud△technologies△and△machine△learning. Healthcare△is△increasingly△moving△to△the△cloud, and△the△adoption△of△machine△learning△will△allow△the△industry△to△unlock△insights△that△can△lead△to△significant△clinical△improvements△for△patients. The△Cloud△Healthcare△API△is△currently△available△in△an△early△access△release, but△over△the△next△year, we△plan△to△roll△it△out△to△more△customers△and△partners—let△us△know if△you’re△interested.??
In△addition△to△the△the△Cloud△Healthcare△API, we△have△a△long△history△of△supporting△open△APIs△directly△on△GCP. Our△Cloud△Genomics△API△has△provided△an△implementation△of△the△Global△Alliance△for△Genomics△Health△APIs△for△many△years△now. Through△an△API-first△approach, we△can△help△healthcare△enterprises△simplify△data△interoperability△by△providing△a△strong△foundation△with△cloud△infrastructure△and△services. For△example, Apigee enables△healthcare△enterprises△to△manage△and△deploy△FHIR△(Fast△Healthcare△Interoperability△Resources) APIs△on△top△of△their△existing△electronic△health△record△systems.??
How△our△healthcare△customers△are△using△Google△CloudBeyond△our△work△on△APIs, our△approach△is△to△give△healthcare△customers△the△tools△they△need△to△accelerate△projects△in△areas△like△population△health, personalized△medicine△and△clinical△research. At△HIMSS△we’ll△talk△in△more△detail△about△how△our△customers△are△using△Google△Cloud. Here△are△a△few△examples:
M*Modal△is△working△with△Google△Cloud△to△reinvent△the△experience△of△healthcare△and△mitigate△widespread△physician△burnout. The△collaboration△leverages△M*Modal’s△success△in△adoption△of△its△physician-assistive, AI-based△solutions△with△Google△Cloud’s△expertise△in△AI△at△scale△to△align△innovation△with△market△needs. M*Modal△solutions deliver△AI-powered, real-time△contextual△understanding△and△more△enhanced, actionable△insights△from△clinical△data△to△the△doctor△directly△at△the△point△of△care.
Lahey△Health△is△making△the△move△to△G△Suite△for△its△many△benefits, including△innovation, scalability, collaboration, security△and△productivity. From△the△security△perspective, they△chose△G△Suite△for△our△team△of△dedicated△security△professionals, malware△scanning△for△early△detection△of△global△campaigns, and△secure△end-to-end△infrastructure△that△has△built-in△protections△across△many△layers.
The△Chilean△Health△Ministry△is△using△Google△Cloud’s△Apigee platform△to△provide△a△nationwide△API-based△connectivity△to△help△ensure△data, applications△and△services△are△easily, yet△securely, available△when△and△where△needed. This△connectivity△helps△secure△access△to△patient△information, regardless△of△whether△it’s△needed△in△one△of△Chile’s△1,000 remote△medical△facilities△or△in△one△of△its△connected△health△centers.
Cleveland△Clinic is△using△Google△Cloud’s△Apigee platform△to△realize△the△full△potential△of△their△underlying△electronic△medical△record△through△FHIR△APIs. Using△a△secure, scalable△and△industry-grade△API△platform, Apigee△allows△Cleveland△Clinic△to△enable, augment△and△extend△functionality△of△their△EHR. It’s△also△enabling△them△to△run△advanced△analytics△and△ML-based△predictive△models, revealing△insights△to△clinicians△that△help△them△deliver△improved△patient△care.
Rush△University△Medical△Center△is△also△using△Apigee△to△enhance△many△aspects△of△patient△care△and△patient△experience. They're△looking△to△optimize△scheduling, identify△excess△costs, reduce△emergency△department△wait△times, reducing△readmissions△and△identifying△and△predicting△cybersecurity△threats△using△Google△Cloud's△capabilities△in△AI△and△ML.
Color△is△using△Variant△Transforms—a△new△open△source△tool△we△recently△released△that△helps△export△genomic△variants△directly△into△BigQuery—to△discover△new△capabilities△for△their△cancer△diagnostic△service. When△the△Broad△Institute△of△MIT△and△Harvard△first△brought△the△GATK△Best△Practices△pipeline△to△GCP△in△2015, it△was△$45 to△analyze△a△single△genome. Since△then, Broad△has△steadily△brought△down the△cost△to△a△little△over△$5 by△optimizing△its△use△of△GCP, while△maintaining△(and△even△improving) the△quality△of△the△output, and△has△recently△made△this△same△pipeline—at△the△same△cost—available△to△researchers△around△the△world.
Middlesex△Hospital△and△Chapters△Health△System△are△using△Chrome to△provide△a△secure, future-proof△entry△point△to△the△cloud, connecting△their△staff△to△data-driven△systems△so△they△can△focus△on△what’s△most△important: delivering△great△patient△care.
How△we're△working△with△partnersPartners△are△essential△to△the△work△we△do△with△healthcare△customers. Here△are△a△few△that△we’re△talking△about△at△HIMSS:
Flex△introduced△BrightInsight, a△secure, managed△services△platform△running△on△GCP. BrightInsight△aggregates△data△to△deliver△real-time△intelligence△and△optimize△the△value△of△connected△drug, device△or△combination△products. It’s△designed△to△support△CE-marked△and△FDA-regulated△medical△devices, combination△products△and△Software△as△a△Medical△Device△requirements△for△pharmaceutical△and△medtech△companies. Flex△is△partnering△with△Google△Cloud△to△deliver△insights△with△customizable△analytics△dashboards△that△take△advantage△of△our△advanced△machine△learning△and△AI△capabilities.

WuXi△NextCODE’s△massively△scalable△genomics△database△management△system△and△clinical△and△research△applications△will△be△available△to△all△Google△Cloud△users△later△this△year.
Augmedix△is△using△Glass△Enterprise△Edition△along△with△Google△Cloud△Compute, Storage△and△Speech△API△to△power△their△medical△documentation△platform. They're?working△closely with△Sutter△Health△to△reduce△the△amount△of△time△doctors△spend△on△administrative△tasks△in△order△to△make△the△healthcare△experience△more△simple, engaging△and△human△for△both△patients△and△doctors.
And, on△the△hardware△front, with△Chrome solutions△and△technology△partnerships, we’re△also△announcing a△new△collaboration△between△Healthcast, Citrix△and△Chrome△OS that△aims△to△provide△a△more△secure△and△economical△approach△to△data△access. In△another△example, using△VMware’s△Digital△Clinical△Workspace△and△Point△of△Care△solutions△with△a△Chromebook△allows△users△to△securely△access△sensitive△data△and△apps.
How△we’re△focusing△on△security△and△complianceWe△can’t△talk△about△improving△healthcare△without△addressing△security△and△compliance. We’re△continuing△to△expand△HIPAA△compliance△coverage△across△G△Suite△and△GCP. Today, we△announced that△Google△App△Engine△and△Cloud△Machine△Learning△Engine△are△covered, joining△more△than△two△dozen△other△HIPAA-compliant△GCP△services, including△Google△Compute△Engine, Google△Cloud△Storage△and△BigQuery.
Come△by△and△say△hello△at△HIMSSThere△have△been△a△lot△of△developments△in△our△work△in△healthcare△over△the△last△year. We’re△excited△to△be△back△at△HIMSS△and△looking△forward△to△working△with△everyone△there. Stop△by△our△booth and△check△out△our△sessions if△you’re△at△HIMSS△this△week.
