Manipal Hospitals has taken a big leap into the future of healthcare by partnering with Google Cloud to make its pharmacy and nurse handoff processes faster, smarter, and more accurate, thanks to the power of Generative AI (GenAI).
This upgrade is part of Manipal’s ongoing effort to improve hospital operations and deliver a better experience for both patients and caregivers.
🧠 What’s New?
Manipal Hospitals has integrated Google’s Gemini AI assistant and advanced data analytics into its hospital systems. Here’s how it’s helping:
