Anthropic Launches Claude for Healthcare With Record Connectors and HIPAA-Ready Safeguards

Opt-in connectors plus HIPAA-ready safeguards with required professional review target administrative and research workflows.

Overview

  • U.S. Claude Pro and Max users can now link HealthEx and Function Health to share lab results and records, with Apple Health and Android Health Connect rolling out to beta testers this week.
  • New connectors to CMS’s Coverage Database, ICD-10, the National Provider Identifier Registry and PubMed aim to speed prior authorizations, bolster claims appeals, support coding and coordinate care.
  • Expanded life-sciences tools integrate Medidata, ClinicalTrials.gov, bioRxiv, medRxiv, Open Targets and ChEMBL, with Anthropic demonstrating a Phase II trial protocol drafted in roughly an hour.
  • Anthropic says shared health data stays out of model memory and training, access is opt-in and revocable, and its acceptable-use policy requires qualified professional review for clinical uses.
  • The launch follows OpenAI’s ChatGPT Health and leans on Claude Opus 4.5 performance claims, with partners named including AstraZeneca, Sanofi, Genmab, Banner Health, Flatiron Health and Veeva.
