Anthropic announced major extensions to Claude’s applicability in healthcare and life sciences. Building on earlier work such as Claude for Life Sciences, the company unveiled Claude for Healthcare, enabling HIPAA-ready tools for providers, payers, and consumers.
Claude now connects to key medical systems and databases (like CMS Coverage Database, ICD-10 codes, NPI registry, and PubMed) to assist with administrative tasks, prior authorizations, and clinical coordination.
In life sciences, new connectors (Medidata, ClinicalTrials.gov, bioRxiv/medRxiv, and more) enhance Claude’s support for clinical trial operations and regulatory activities. The update leverages improvements in Claude’s agentic performance to deliver practical productivity gains in regulated workflows.
