01:52 PM Google Cloud announced this week that its Healthcare Consent Management API, aimed at giving users a simple way to manage individuals' consent over health data use, is now generally available. The API was made available via Public Preview last fall. According to the tech giant, early adopters have used it to create personalized patient portals, securely integrate data into clinical workflows and develop virtual clinical trials. "We’re pleased to add the Healthcare Consent Management API to our portfolio of solutions, and to support healthcare and life sciences professionals as healthcare data begins to span a variety of devices, scenarios, and locations," wrote Google Cloud Healthcare and Life Sciences Product Manager Jameson Rogers in a blog post.
