Suki, which develops AI voice technology for the healthcare industry, announced new capabilities for its flagship Suki Assistant product this week through a collaboration with Google Cloud.
The Suki Assistant will use Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform to provide patient summaries and answer medical reference questions, Suki said. The assistant can also work with healthcare providers on documentation, coding, retrieving patient chart data, and dictation. The patient summarizations are generated from previous patient documentation and chart records available through electronic health records, the company said.
“Our goal is to make healthcare technology invisible and assistive, to give clinicians their time back to care for patients,” Punit Soni, founder and CEO of Suki, said in a statement. “Today marks a milestone in Suki’s history: becoming the industry’s first end-to-end AI assistant. In partnership with Google Cloud, these latest features change the paradigm of how clinicians access and consume data that informs care decisions, giving them instant access to highly relevant, digestible insights.”
The patient summarization feature is now available to a select group of clinicians, while the Q&A function will be available in 2025.
