Nova Scotia hopes to use AI, powered by Google Cloud Consulting, to help you and health-care workers search for health information.

The collaboration would let people search using conversational language and asking questions, which would help people and heath-care workers find what they’re looking for faster, according to the province.

“This enables decision-making and enhances the overall healthcare experience in our province and leads to better care for Nova Scotians. These advanced, transformative technologies support more efficient, effective and secure healthcare services for everyone in Nova Scotia,” wrote Scott McKenna, chief information officer for Nova Scotia Health in a news release.

The government unveiled the new partnership Wednesday morning. Over the next five years, the province will spend $42 million on the project.

The AI-powered search tools have three main uses.

The first would let Nova Scotians search the YourHealthNS app and Nova Scotia Health website using hundreds of languages.

The second would let health-care professionals use conversational language, like asking questions in the search engine, to sift through patient records faster.

The third aspect would help radiologists review chest x-rays by providing preliminary information, which would help doctors find information faster.

Google will not have any access to private health records, according to the province. They only provide the search technology.
