Solution

The IKS Care Enablement Platform is a transformative, technology-powered ecosystem purpose-built for healthcare, combining advanced automation, data intelligence, and human expertise to offload healthcare chores. This solution modernizes the development life cycle by integrating intelligent automation directly within CI/CD pipelines. IKS Health leverages Google Cloud's native AI/ML tools to power intelligent automation across clinical documentation, revenue cycle, and operations. Specific Google Cloud services used include Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for scalable microservices, Cloud Build and Artifact Registry for end-to-end CI/CD, BigQuery and Looker for analytics, Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging for real-time observability, and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform to power automated scribe tools.

Data flow

Source data is captured through Cloud Pub/Sub, stored or unified in BigQuery, orchestrated via Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud Build, and surfaced through Gemini Enterprise, Gemini, Looker, Cloud Run
