Anthropic expands into healthcare a week after OpenAI launched a similar product
"Anthropic is rolling out a major expansion of its healthcare and life-sciences offerings, as AI companies race to embed large language models more deeply into regulated medical workflows. The company on Sunday announced Claude for Healthcare, a product that allows healthcare providers, insurers, and consumers to use Claude for medical purposes through HIPAA-ready infrastructure. The move also underscores intensifying competition in healthcare AI."
"Anthropic said Claude for Healthcare is designed to reduce administrative work and help both clinicians and patients better understand medical information. The tools are powered by recent improvements to the company's flagship model, Claude Opus 4.5, which Anthropic says performs significantly better than earlier versions on simulated medical and scientific tasks while showing fewer factual errors. As part of the healthcare expansion, Claude can now connect directly to several industry-standard databases."
"Claude for Healthcare offers HIPAA-ready tools for providers, insurers, and consumers. New integrations connect Claude to key medical databases and personal health record platforms.
