Highmark Health is launching a new consumer experience strategy, underpinned by a six-year contract with Google Cloud, the Pittsburgh-based healthcare company said Thursday.
Highmark Health, which owns health insurer Highmark and health system Allegheny Health Network, on Thursday formally unveiled its "Living Health" model, a project that the company has said is designed to provide patients with better coordinated and more personalized care and clinicians with technology that cuts down on time spent on administrative tasks.
As part of the project, Highmark Health will work with Google Cloud to build a cloud-based platform that includes centralized scheduling, care management and analytics and artificial intelligence tools. Highmark Health and Google Cloud will also co-develop analytics tools that help create care plans from patients' health data and flag possible health issues for early intervention.
