The Australian AI company will work with Google Cloud to increase the accuracy and availability of its clinical scribe product.
Australian health tech startup Heidi Health will be entering a new partnership with Google Cloud to scale up and expand the reach of its AI-based products.
It won’t be Google Cloud’s first involvement with the company; Heidi Health previously went through the Google for Startups program.
The Australian-based company’s core product is an AI-powered medical scribe that summarises transcripts to generate medical notes.
It’s already used in more than 50 countries and is embedded in Australian practice management software like Zedmed and MediRecords.
The Google Cloud partnership will allow Heidi to expand into communities that “face fundamental challenges to access even basic healthcare”.
“Working with Google Cloud gives us the world-class infrastructure to strengthen the reach of Heidi’s current capabilities where they can have the most impact, while also unlocking a whole range of AI-driven innovations that’ll restore the human connection in doctor-patient interactions,” Heidi Health co-founder Dr Thomas Kelly said.
Google Cloud’s AI platform, Vertex, will also allow Heidi Health to develop new solutions for what it called “much more personalised, attentive levels of patient care”.

On a practical level, it means users will be able to choose customised modes for tasks that require a different kind of output, like insurer correspondence and complex aftercare instructions.
“We want Heidi to make every clinician feel like they’re able to give all their patients a degree of personalised interaction that would’ve once been unimaginable,” Dr Kelly said.
“Working with partners like Google, Heidi will rapidly progress beyond seamless medical scribing to tangible improvements for doctors and patients all over the world.”
