InterSystems today announced that it will be a launch partner for Google Cloud’s Gemini for Healthcare. is an innovative data technology company fueling over one billion health records worldwide. This collaboration will allow Gemini for Healthcare to connect to the InterSystems IRIS FHIR Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This means health organizations can give AI assistants and agents access to FHIR data that is governed.
The integration combines the power of Google Cloud’s Gemini with the standards-based data access capabilities of InterSystems IRIS FHIR MCP. InterSystems FHIR MCP provides the open Model Context Protocol directly from an FHIR endpoint. So that FHIR tools can be discovered and used by MCP-enabled clients. These tools allow for the search, read, creation, update and management of healthcare data.
The setup also links access to AI to a known standard for health care interoperability. Healthcare AI depends on trusted data, so this connection matters for hospitals and health systems. Moreover, governed access keeps security and oversight at the center of every AI interaction.
Don Woodlock, president of InterSystems, explained the thinking behind the partnership.
“Healthcare organizations are looking for practical ways to apply AI to their data without compromising security, governance, or interoperability,” said Don Woodlock, president of InterSystems. “By connecting Gemini for healthcare with InterSystems IRIS FHIR MCP, we are establishing a trusted bridge between advanced AI and the health information these organizations rely on.”
Google Cloud Points to Interoperability as the Key to Agentic AI
Google Cloud shares this focus on safe, connected data. Aashima Gupta, global managing director of Healthcare at Google Cloud, highlighted why interoperability matters for the next phase of healthcare AI.
“The leap from passive chatbots to agentic workflows depends entirely on interoperability. An AI agent is only as safe and competent as the pipeline feeding it,” said Aashima Gupta, global managing director, Healthcare Google Cloud. “Partnering with InterSystems grounds Gemini for healthcare in the bedrock of global healthcare data infrastructure, turning static medical records into active, governed intelligence that works safely at the bedside and beyond.”
Overall, the launch partnership signals a clear push toward secure, standards-based healthcare AI. Healthcare organizations now gain a governed path to connect AI agents with trusted health data. Meanwhile, interoperability remains the foundation for any agentic workflow in healthcare. Together, InterSystems and Google Cloud are building that foundation around Gemini for Healthcare.
