InterSystems, a creative data technology provider powering more than one billion health records globally, today announced that it will serve as a launch partner for Google Cloud’s Gemini for healthcare. Through the collaboration, Gemini for healthcare will connect to the InterSystems IRIS FHIR Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling healthcare organisations to give AI assistants and agents governed access to FHIR data.
The integration will bring together Google Cloud’s Gemini capabilities and the standards-based data access provided by InterSystems IRIS FHIR MCP. InterSystems FHIR MCP serves the open Model Context Protocol directly from a FHIR endpoint, allowing MCP-enabled clients to discover and use FHIR tools for searching, reading, creating, updating and managing healthcare data.
“Healthcare organisations 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 organisations rely on.”
“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.”
