CVS Health partners with Google; launching health tech subsidiary
CVS Health is leveraging next-gen Google artificial intelligence for initiatives that include an integrated health care engagement platform.
The company is entering a strategic partnership with Google Cloud that aims to revamp health care experiences, increase consumer engagement, and ultimately help support better health outcomes. Central to the partnership is CVS Health's upcoming rollout of Health100, a health technology services subsidiary that will deliver an integrated health care engagement platform for consumers regardless of which pharmacy, care provider, medical insurance company, pharmacy benefits manager and digital health solution providers they use.
The Health100 platform will use built-in agentic AI to provide a real-time omnichannel experience including real-time proactive support to achieve better health, obtain faster and expanded access to care, gain access to cost transparency and ways to reduce out-of-pocket spend. Health100 will also connect consumers to pharmacist-led care management.
"Consumer engagement in their own health and care is the holy grail that will drive trust and much better health outcomes," said Tilak Mandadi, executive VP, ventures and chief experience and technology officer at CVS Health. "We are putting the consumer at the center to enable their health care partners to seamlessly connect with them as part of a fully integrated experience. Google Cloud and AI technologies are core to this platform, which is grounded in responsible AI principles."
Google Cloud's secure enterprise platform and AI technologies, including Gemini models, Cloud Healthcare API, and BigQuery, will support Health100. The platform will also offer services for health care providers to directly engage with consumers in real time, and CVS Health plans future integration of biometric wearable technology.
The initial launch of Health100 will be in 2026, with plans to allow other health innovators to build specialized applications as part of an open ecosystem approach. Access to and use of patient data will be protected through Google Cloud's infrastructure and secure data storage, which supports HIPAA compliance working with CVS Health's security and privacy controls.
CVS Health will release more details later in March 2026.

"With Health100, CVS Health is delivering the future of agentic, AI-powered health care that enhances human touch and eliminates complexity," said Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud. "By applying Google Cloud's secure infrastructure and Gemini's multimodal capabilities to the complexities of medicine, CVS Health is creating a personalized and proactive end-to-end health care experience that general purpose AI interfaces and legacy tools cannot match."
As of Dec. 31, 2025, CVS Health had approximately 9,000 retail pharmacy locations, more than 1,000 walk-in and primary care medical clinics and a pharmacy benefits manager with approximately 87 million plan members. The company also serves an estimated more than 37 million people through traditional, voluntary and consumer-directed health insurance products and related services, including Medicare Advantage offerings and a standalone Medicare Part D prescription drug plan.
