Google Cloud is partnering with the Mayo Clinic to transform traditional health care by using generative AI, Google Cloud announced on Wednesday.

The Enterprise Search in Gen App Builder will also unify data across dispersed documents, databases and intranets, making it easier to search, analyze and identify the most relevant results, according to Google Cloud.

Cris Ross, Mayo Clinic's chief information officer, said, "Our prioritization of patient safety, privacy and ethical considerations means that generative AI can have a significant and positive impact on how we work and deliver health care."

"Google Cloud's tools have the potential to unlock sources of information that typically aren't searchable in a conventional manner, or are difficult to access or interpret, from a patient's complex medical history to their imaging, genomics and labs," he continued. "Accessing insights more quickly and easily could drive more cures, create more connections with patients, and transform health care."
