Details
Anthropic has launched Claude for Healthcare, offering a set of HIPAA-ready AI tools for healthcare providers, payers, and consumers. The core features include connectors to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Coverage Database, ICD-10 diagnosis/procedure codes, and the National Provider Identifier Registry. These integrations enable support for prior authorization checks, medical coding, billing accuracy, provider verification, and claims management. For individual users in the US, Claude Pro and Max subscribers can connect personal health data via HealthEx and Function, integrating with Apple Health and Android Health Connect. Users can summarize medical history or explain test results. Anthropic confirms that it does not use this health data for model training. The life sciences expansion adds connectors to major platforms like Medidata, ClinicalTrials.gov, bioRxiv, Open Targets, and ChEMBL. New agent skills support complex workflows such as clinical trial protocol drafting (accounting for FDA/NIH requirements) and bioinformatics processes. These features are available across various enterprise-level subscriptions.
