Google Cloud appears to be integrating genAI into Indonesian SatuSehat

Google Cloud and the Indonesian Ministry of Health are exploring the application of generative AI on the national medical records platform SatuSehat.

Recently, the organizations have collaborated in developing generative AI-based applications in healthcare.

Google Indonesia Director of Government Relations and Public Policy Putri Alam revealed at a recent Google event in Jakarta that SatuSehat is an area in healthcare that they are looking to integrate genAI with.

THE GREATER CONTEXT

As part of their partnership, Google Cloud provides the Indonesian government with a secure environment to test and further develop Google’s genAI models, including MedLM. Their The partnership hopes that genAI will not only enable better access to health information, but also drive more precise diagnoses and treatment plans, while ensuring the privacy and security of patient data.

MOH’s collaboration with Google Cloud expands on their existing partnership since 2022 to improve data management and develop technology-driven health services.

The same year, MOH redesigned its previous COVID-19 tracer app PeduliLindung transformed into SatuSehat, which now serves as the foundation for the digital transformation of the healthcare system.

SatuSehat uses the HL7 FHIR health data sharing standards to securely capture standardized patient data from healthcare providers. Last year, InterSystems expanded its IRIS for Health data management platform in Indonesia to facilitate compliance for healthcare providers in the country who share data with SatuSehat.

Indonesians can do that now access their health records via a mobile version of the SatuSehat. In addition to laboratory research reports, more types of health information are expected to be accessible on SatuSehat mobile soon, including radiological images such as ultrasound, EKG, CT and MRI scans.

Meanwhile, MOH attempted to do this as part of its digital transformation initiatives measuring the digital maturity of provincial and district/city health departments, hospitals and healthcare facilities. Based on the results published in March, 146 participating institutions scored an average of 2.73 out of 5.00, while 10 provincial health offices, 10 district/city health offices and 10 hospitals scored 4.52, which was considered an “excellent” maturity considered.
