Features

Integration with prebuilt AI and machine learning tools

Cloud Healthcare API allows you to unlock the true value of your healthcare data by enabling integration with advanced analytics and machine learning solutions such as BigQuery, AutoML, and Vertex AI.

Managed scalability

Cloud Healthcare API provides web-native, serverless scaling optimized by Google’s infrastructure. Simply activate the API and start sending requests—no initial capacity configuration required. Although some limits exist (such as Pub/Sub quotas), capacity can expand to match usage patterns.

Enhanced data liquidity

Cloud Healthcare API supports bulk import and export of FHIR data and DICOM data, accelerating time-to-delivery for solutions with dependencies on existing datasets, and providing a convenient API for moving data between projects.

Developer friendly

Cloud Healthcare API organizes your healthcare information into datasets with one or more modality-specific store per set. Each store exposes both a REST and RPC interface. You can use Identity and Access Management to set fine-grained access policies.

Pricing

How Cloud Healthcare API pricing works

Cloud Healthcare API pricing is based on region, services, and usage. Prices for US regions are shown below.

Data storage

Structured storage

Storage volume is based on bytes of data ingested plus indexing overhead (as measured by indexed bytes) and backup bytes.

Ranges from

$0.19-$0.39

Per GB per month. The first GB is free.

Blob storage

Blob storage prices are based on the amount of non-structured or BLOB bytes that are ingested and stored.

Ranges from

$0.02-$0.026

Per GB per month. The first GB is free.

Request volume

Standard requests

Default for all requests.

Starting at

$0.39

Per request per month. The first 25,000 requests are free.

Complex requests

Captures API requests that are computationally intense compared with standard requests.

Starting at

$0.69

Per request per month. The first 25,000 requests are free.

Notification volume

Standard notifications

Notifications are streaming events that originate from data stores and are sent to Google Cloud or external endpoints.

$0.29

Per 1 million notifications per month. The first 100,000 notifications (per 1 million) are free.

ETL operations

Export batch

Ranges from

$0.09-$0.19

Per GB per month.

Export streaming

Ranges from

$0.24-$0.34

Per GB per month.

De-identification operations

Inspection

Occurs on free text or images to discover instances of sensitive data.

Ranges from

$0.10-$0.30

Per giga unit (GU). The first GU is free.

Transformation

Encompasses redaction, replacement, hashing, or changes made to sensitive data as part of the de-identification process.

Ranges from

$1-$3

Per GU. The first GU is free.

Processing

Covers the base cost of the operation. The charges vary for structured storage and blob storage.

Ranges from

$0.05-$0.60

Per GB. The first GB is free.

Healthcare Natural Language API

Entity analysis

Usage of the Healthcare Natural Language API is calculated in terms of text record monthly volume. A text record contains 1,000 characters.

Ranges from

$0.03-$0.10

Per 1 text record. The first 2,500 text records are free.
