In October, we announced Claude for Life Sciences, our latest step in making Claude a productive research partner for scientists and clinicians, and in helping Claude to support those in industry bringing new scientific advancements to the public.
Now, we’re expanding that feature set in two ways. First, we’re introducing Claude for Healthcare, a complementary set of tools and resources that allow healthcare providers, payers, and consumers to use Claude for medical purposes through HIPAA-ready products. Second, we’re adding new capabilities for life sciences: connecting Claude to more scientific platforms, and helping it provide greater support in areas ranging from clinical trial management to regulatory operations.
These features build on top of major recent improvements we’ve made to Claude’s general intelligence. These improvements are best captured by evaluations of Claude’s agentic performance on detailed simulations of medical and scientific tasks, since this correlates most closely to real-world usefulness. Here, Claude Opus 4.5, our latest model, represents a major forward step:

It's API-only (or bespoke priced) and it's basically doing tool calls. Here are their example Healthcare prompts:
The third is cringe AF in terms of workflow (because patients are waiting for urgent care for a day) but otherwise, I feel that it's mostly positioning Claude as an assistant still. It's not integrated.
This is getting to a point where I’m not even sure if this kind of AI 'apps' is good or bad. I mean, you can’t deny they bring some efficiency gains and there’s clearly demand for them.
It doesn't solve systemic inefficiencies, but it does address them, by making the inefficiencies less costly. So short-term, good. Long-term, bad.
