Suki Expands Partnership with Google Cloud to Enhance Assistive Tech for Clinicians

Healthcare AI startup Suki has expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to develop advanced features aimed at reducing administrative burdens for clinicians.  This collaboration signals Suki’s effort to move beyond its core clinical documentation tools and provide more comprehensive assistive technologies for healthcare providers. 

The flagship product of the company known as Suki Assistant has already saved clinicians from the hassle of converting patient visits into clinical notes automatically. Doctors are freed up to spend less time and effort on documentation as a result. The latest partnership with Google Cloud employs the power of the Vertex AI platform, which makes it possible to create, tune, and deploy AI models. Suki will seek to add new features through this collaboration such as patient summaries and Q&A functionalities, to further help healthcare professionals during patient care. 

The Suki patient summary tool will help doctors quickly access important patient information like biographical details, medical history, chronic conditions, previous prescriptions, and the reason for the visit with a single click will help doctors save 15 to 30 minutes daily.  

Additionally, Suki’s Q&A feature will enable clinicians to ask specific questions about a patient’s medical history, lab results, or treatments. For example, doctors will be able to query the system for trends in lab results, vaccination history, or recent procedures like electrocardiograms. Initially, this feature will focus on individual patient data, but Suki plans to expand its capabilities in the future. 

The company plans to roll out these new capabilities to approximately one thousand selected clinicians by the end of this year, with broader availability expected for other users by early 2025. Notably, the patient summary and Q&A features will be made accessible to all current customers at no additional cost, further demonstrating how Suki enhances the value of its technology. Suki’s growth is evident, as it now serves over 350 health systems and clinics across the U.S., with its client base having tripled this year alone. 

With rising administrative burdens attributed to burnout among healthcare professionals, innovations like Suki are timely panaceas that can help reduce clinician pressure. The $70 million funding round raised by the company indicates how investor interest in AI-driven solutions for the healthcare industry is growing. With this perpetual change of AI in healthcare space, partnership with Google Cloud makes Suki among one of the leaders to be at par transforming the face of clinical documentation and even the definition of patient care.
