Cloud Healthcare API
Unlock your healthcare data to power insights and AI
A secure, compliant, fully managed service for ingesting, transforming and storing healthcare data in FHIR, HL7v2, and DICOM formats, and unstructured text.
Features
Integration with prebuilt AI and machine learning tools
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. | |
|---|---|---|
| Services and usage | Subscription type | Price (USD) |
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 $0.003-$0.026 Per GB per month. The first GB is free. | |
Request volume | Standard requests Default for all requests. | Starting at $0.39 Per 100,000 requests 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 100,000 requests 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. | |
