Details

This article serves as a notification regarding service deprecation policies for certain functionalities within Google Cloud Healthcare API, based on Google Cloud Platform's Terms of Service. Specifically, the 'Google Cloud Healthcare Annotations API' was deprecated on May 16, 2023, recommending that users store annotation data using FHIR resources as an alternative. Furthermore, the 'Healthcare Natural Language API' is also being phased out, suggesting the use of Gemini models—which are generally available (GA)—on Vertex AI instead. These changes reflect the technical evolution in medical data processing and prompt users to establish appropriate migration plans. Although these features remain available for a period after deprecation, they will eventually be shut down, requiring developers to proactively adapt to the latest alternatives (such as FHIR or Gemini). This information provides critical guidance regarding the use of standard standards (FHIR) and the utilization of advanced natural language processing models (LLMs) in healthcare IT systems.
