Suki Introduces Patient Summary Feature in its AI Assistant with Google Cloud Integration

The new features are powered by Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, a fully-managed AI development system that supports Google’s latest Gemini model and other AI frameworks.

Suki, a health AI company, has announced the addition of patient summary and Q&A features to its Suki AI Assistant, leveraging Google Cloud's generative AI capabilities to improve healthcare workflows. 

The enhancements aim to streamline patient insights and data retrieval for clinicians.

The new features are powered by Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, a fully-managed AI development system that supports Google’s latest Gemini model and other AI frameworks. 

By integrating these technologies, Suki’s AI Assistant now offers clinicians advanced summarization and search capabilities.

Enhancing Clinical Workflows with AI

The Q&A feature allows clinicians to query Suki AI Assistant for specific patient information or medical literature in real-time. For instance, providers can ask questions like, "When was the patient’s last mammogram?" or "Do these two drugs interact?" Suki’s AI Assistant processes the request and delivers concise, accurate answers within seconds. 

According to the company, this function will be available to all customers starting in 2025.

“Google is widely regarded as the leader in search and has very sophisticated technology to search across data sources, formats, etc. As Suki started building these capabilities that required searching and summarizing large volumes of data, we naturally turned to Google to collaborate with us on these features,” said Punit Soni, Founder and CEO of Suki.

In addition to the Q&A capability, Suki’s new patient summary feature delivers a concise overview of a patient’s medical history and recent visits. This feature is designed to save clinicians time spent manually reviewing past encounter notes, enabling faster preparation for appointments.

The patient summary feature is currently being tested by select physicians in health systems and will also roll out more broadly in 2025. Both features will be integrated into Suki’s existing AI Assistant product at no additional cost.

“A clinician can prepare for an upcoming patient appointment by viewing a concise summary of the patient’s past appointments in Suki. The summary includes pertinent details from those appointments, saving clinicians time and mental energy from having to manually review individual encounter notes,” Soni added.

Suki Expands as an AI Healthcare Assistant

Suki claims its AI Assistant is the first end-to-end clinical AI solution to combine documentation, coding, dictation, patient chart retrieval, and now advanced search and summarization features. 

The tools aim to address common administrative burdens faced by clinicians, freeing up more time for patient care.

“Our goal is to make healthcare technology invisible and assistive, to give clinicians their time back to care for patients. In partnership with Google Cloud, these latest features change the paradigm of how clinicians access and consume data that informs care decisions, giving them instant access to highly relevant, digestible insights,” said Soni. 

The new patient summary and Q&A tools will be accessible to clinicians through the existing Suki AI Assistant platform in 2025. Both features are currently undergoing testing and will expand to other customers after the initial phase.

“We at Google Cloud are truly excited to be partnering with Suki. Their innovative use of our generative AI technologies is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in healthcare,” Gupta said.
