ZDNET的关键外卖
- 雅典娜健康患者可咨询Anthropic的Claude。
- 该伙伴关系使大赦国际能够获得敏感的健康信息。
- Athenahealth 声称数据不能用于训练Anthropic模型。
一个主要的美国保健提供者刚刚与Anthropic合作，将病人健康记录与Claude连接起来。
Athenahealth是一家为超过20%的美国人口服务的医疗保健机构，发布是一个与Anthropic的Claude连接的模型背景协议(MCP)兼容服务器。 该服务器名为AthenaPatient MCP，允许AI模型从健康记录中收集信息并回答相关问题。 Athenahealth认为，这一过程是安全的，需要病人在账户证书上签字。
AthenaPatient MCP仅供Claude Pro和Claude Max用户使用，每月费用分别为20美元和100美元。 并非所有的雅典娜健康患者都会将其数据与Claude共享，并非所有的Claude Pro和Claude Max用户都必须选择加入。 用户必须给Claude他们经过认证的雅典纳健康证书，可以选择Claude可以获取哪些健康信息，并且根据新闻稿可以随时取消访问。

还：可穿戴的健康热潮为医生造成了数据超载 — — 接下来会发生什么？
Claude一旦获得授权，在回答问题时会将患者的信息，如实验室结果、生命力、药物、健康状况、免疫、访问历史、诊断报告、过敏反应、程序和护理计划等纳入考虑范围。
根据雅典纳健康公司产品管理、数据和生态系统副总裁Sam Lambson通过电子邮件回复ZDNET，医生也不应该取代医生的专业判断或医疗建议。 “病人应与合格的保健专业人员联系，了解诊断、治疗或改变其护理的问题。”
看来，AthenaPatient MCP工具旨在帮助患者更好地了解卫生专业人员提供的信息，而不是为他们提供医疗建议。 因此，人们可能会问雅典娜·帕蒂安·MCP关于他们最新的血液测试结果，比如“我最新的红细胞数是什么？” 但用户不应该指望Claude解释异常高低数会如何影响他们。
不是第一次这样
大科技与大医疗之间并不新鲜。 事实上，雅典纳健康公司和Anthropic公司之间的合作是沿着整个保健技术行业的更大趋势发展起来的。 今年早些时候，Microsoft与Mayo Clinic公司合作开发了AI医疗模型；根据一份新闻稿，波士顿儿童医院与OpenAI建立了合作关系，以开发企业AI系统，供研究、临床和行政团队使用。

越来越多的美国人正在咨询大赦国际提供医疗建议。 Pew研究中心最近的一项调查发现，34%的美国成年人曾与一个聊天员交谈，寻求医疗建议。 这种伙伴关系通过批准病人的账户证书，在提供医疗记录模式之前，使程序略为安全。
卫生数据极具价值，技术公司越来越有兴趣与保健提供者结成伙伴关系，以便获得这些数据。 我们听到的许多“AI可以治愈癌症”信息都依赖于这些庞大的公司获得足够的健康数据来培训其AI模型，并将疾病数据与病人数据联系起来。 然而，这并不是说，解决这一复杂问题的动机是雅典娜健康与Anthropic之间的伙伴关系。
又曰：问AI求医？一个医生解释道
更合理的解释是，一个能回答病人问询的人工智能可以消除一些管理员工作医生在病人看病之间的时间间隔，比如回答关于检测结果的问题，让雅典娜健康医生有一段时间的回程。

ZDNET’s key takeaways
- Athenahealth patients can consult Anthropic’s Claude.
- The partnership provides the AI with access to sensitive health information.
- Athenahealth claims the data cannot be used to train Anthropic models.
A major US healthcare provider just teamed up with Anthropic to connect patient health records with Claude.
Athenahealth, a healthcare provider serving over 20% of the US population, launched a Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible server that connects to Anthropic’s Claude. The server, named AthenaPatient MCP, allows the AI model to gather information from health records and answer related questions. The process is secure, according to Athenahealth, and requires patients to sign in with their account credentials.
AthenaPatient MCP is available only to Claude Pro and Claude Max users, which cost $20 and $100 per month, respectively. Not all Athenahealth patients will have their data shared with Claude, and not all Claude Pro and Claude Max users must opt in. Users must give Claude their authenticated Athenahealth credentials, can choose which health information Claude can access, and can revoke access at any time, according to the press release.

Once authorized, Claude takes patients’ information like lab results, vitals, medications, health conditions, immunizations, visit history, diagnostic reports, allergies, procedures, and care plans into account when answering questions.
The AI partnership does not provide medical advice, according to Sam Lambson, vice president of product management, data & ecosystem at Athenahealth, who responded to ZDNET in an email. It also should not replace a clinician’s professional judgment or medical advice. “Patients should contact a qualified healthcare professional with questions about diagnosis, treatment, or changes to their care,” Lambson said.
It appears that the AthenaPatient MCP tool is designed to help patients better understand the information provided by health professionals, rather than to give them medical advice. So, one may ask AthenaPatient MCP about their latest blood test results, such as “What was my most recent red blood cell count?” but users shouldn’t expect Claude to explain how an abnormally high or low count may affect them.
Not the first of its kind
Partnerships between big tech and big healthcare aren’t new. In fact, the collaboration between Athenahealth and Anthropic follows a larger trend across the health tech industry. Earlier this year, Microsoft teamed up with Mayo Clinic to develop an AI model for healthcare; Boston Children’s Hospital forged a partnership with OpenAI to develop an enterprise AI system for use across research, clinical, and administrative teams, according to a press release.

A growing number of Americans are consulting AI for medical advice. A recent survey from Pew Research Center found that 34% of US adults have talked with a chatbot for medical advice. This partnership makes the process slightly more secure by authorizing patient account credentials before granting the model access to health records.
Health data is extremely valuable, and tech companies are increasingly interested in partnering with healthcare providers to access it. Much of the “AI could cure cancer” messaging we hear relies on these humongous companies obtaining enough health data to train their AI models and link disease data to patient data. This is not to say, however, that solving this complex issue is the motive behind the partnership between Athenahealth and Anthropic.
Also: Asking AI for medical advice? There’s a right and wrong way, one doctor explains
A more reasonable explanation for such a partnership is that an AI that can answer patient queries could eliminate some of the admin work doctors do between patient visits, like answering questions about test results, giving Athenahealth doctors some time back.
Will partnerships like Anthropic and Athenahealth’s improve patient outcomes? That remains to be seen, but a recent survey by Pew Research Center found that Americans aren’t that confident on the matter. The largest shares of respondents still preferred that a human oversee AI when it’s used in a clinical context.
