A New Partnership to Close the Primary Care Gap
Lumeris and Google Cloud have partnered to confront one of healthcare’s most urgent challenges: a massive shortfall in access to primary care. We’re combining deep clinical expertise and cutting-edge AI to support care teams and bring better care to more people—at scale.

An unignorable deficit
Every year, the U.S. is hundreds of millions of hours short of primary care. That gap means missed diagnoses, delayed treatments, and unequal access to care for millions. It’s not just a system strain—it’s a public health crisis.
Annual demand for care exceeds hundreds of millions of hours, but less than 500 million hours are available.
AI that expands access—without replacing care
Tom™, Lumeris’ Primary Care as a Service™ platform, will be powered by Google Cloud’s secure infrastructure and advanced AI models. Embedded directly in clinical workflows, Tom supports teams by executing a range of tasks across continuum of care, removing administrative burdens to allow care teams focus their valuable time on clinical decisions.
This partnership is built on the belief that technology should amplify human care, not replace it
