Jan 12, 2026 · Updated Apr 25, 2026

Anthropic launched Claude for Healthcare, a HIPAA-ready suite for providers, payers, and health tech. Connectors include the CMS Coverage Database for prior authorization, ICD-10 for medical coding, and the National Provider Identifier Registry for credentialing. Apple Health and Android Health Connect integrations let Claude access personal lab results and health records.

The life sciences expansion adds Medidata for clinical trials, ClinicalTrials.gov for registry access, bioRxiv/medRxiv for preprints, and ToolUniverse with 600+ scientific tools. Agent skills cover FHIR development, trial protocol drafting with FDA compliance, and bioinformatics workflows.

Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, Banner Health, and 13 other organizations shared how they're using Claude across healthcare and life sciences workflows.
