Google has a whole bunch of products/tools in the healthcare space, and it seems like their contribution there is only growing. I've been working with FHIR/EHR adjacent tooling lately for a personal project, and a good number of both open source resources and SAAS products I've seen have been from Google.

More broadly, all big 3 cloud providers (Azure, AWS, and Google) have offerings for FHIR data storage and API access, as well as common NLP based healthcare data analysis workflows. Many of these seem relatively new, or as if they have had a lot of recent attention focused on them. I'm definitely interested in how/why these companies (as well as some other VC funded ones, like Medplum), are entering this space with products that are not directly sellable, but are rather things that other tools would have to build upon. It seems like AWS works directly with end-customers to use their APIs to build products, but I'm not sure what Azure and Google are doing.

This one's probably too complex for my use case, but I thought the concept looked very neat and wanted to share.
