Overview
- Claude for Healthcare is now live for U.S. Claude Pro and Max subscribers, who can link consolidated medical records via HealthEx to receive answers grounded in their own history.
- The HealthEx connector uses TEFCA and FHIR access plus Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol to fetch only relevant record slices, with granular revoke controls and no storage in Claude’s memory.
- Consumer integrations include Function Health, with Apple Health and Android Health Connect entering beta, enabling import of health and fitness data for summaries and lab explanations.
- Enterprise connectors span CMS Coverage, ICD-10, the NPI Registry, and PubMed, as well as Medidata, ClinicalTrials.gov, bioRxiv and medRxiv, Open Targets, and ChEMBL to support prior authorization, claims appeals, triage, and trial design.
- Anthropic cites performance gains from Claude Opus 4.5 on simulated medical and scientific tasks and notes collaborations with organizations such as AstraZeneca, Sanofi, Genmab, Banner Health, Flatiron Health, and Veeva.
