Hackensack Meridian Health has developed a nurse AI agent that sifts large amounts of data and offers next-best-action recommendations, plus an agent that assists with post-operative calls to patients, built with Google Cloud. Fierce Healthcare reported the deployment in April 2025 without outcome figures.
Reported outcomes
No quantified outcome has been published in the sources we found. We will update this case when one appears.
Outcomes are reported exactly as stated by the source; we have not independently audited them.
How it works
- Gemini-based app summarizes medical records via Vertex AI Search.
- Nurse agent reviews large volumes of patient data and suggests next best actions.
- Post-op agent assists with follow-up calls to patients after surgery.
Risks & compliance
- Clinical decision support; nurses retain judgment
- PHI handling
Healthcare cases cover operational and commercial workflows. Nothing here is medical advice or a claim about a device's or drug's efficacy.
Casefile: MedTech angle
Post-operative follow-up after orthopedic and surgical cases is a touchpoint device companies care about.
