Collective Health collaborates with Google Cloud to deliver Collective AI (CAI(TM), reimagining the healthcare experience through enterprise-scale AI. Collective Health leverages its unique third party administration (TPA) foundation and Google Cloud's secure infrastructure to support responsible artificial intelligence innovation SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Feb. 25, 2026 - Collective Health, an independent, transparent third party administrator (TPA) with Care Navigation and Benefits Hub, today announced a strategic infrastructure expansion and collaboration with Google Cloud to deliver its next generation of human-centric healthcare intelligence, Collective AI (CAI(TM). CAI(TM) brings the power of artificial intelligence across the Collective Health platform. It includes: * CAI MX(TM)(Member Experience): Acts as an intelligent concierge within the My Collective(R) app. Members can use their own words to ask common questions about their specific plan benefits, like "Is my plan active?" or "Can you show me my ID cards?" * CAI Intelligence(TM): Today, CAI Intelligence(TM)"supercharges" customer service representative (Member Advocate) abilities when on the phone with members. By automating plan-specific search and real-time documentation, CAI(TM) allows Member Advocates to actively engage and be present while interfacing with members. * CAI CX(TM)(Client Experience): The first applications of CAI CX(TM) will focus on transforming the administrative burden of annual enrollment and plan implementation processes into an easy-to-follow guided project management experience with CAI(TM) plan design insights, supporting benefit leaders and their consultant teams to collaborate and execute their benefits strategy all within the Collective Compass(R) employer portal. "Our focus at Collective Health has never been on chasing headlines, but on the real, practical application of technology to solve the problems that affect millions of people trying to get the care they need," said Ali Diab, CEO and Co-founder of Collective Health. "By collaborating with Google Cloud, we are combining our deep healthcare expertise with world-class infrastructure to improve access to benefits information for employers and members, with robust security and privacy protections for sensitive healthcare data." "Healthcare requires a unique balance of rapid innovation and an uncompromising commitment to data privacy and user safety," said Aashima Gupta, Global Director, Healthcare Strategy & Solutions, Google Cloud. "By choosing Google Cloud to help deliver CAI(TM), Collective Health is able to deploy sophisticated generative AI models on a foundation built for privacy, scale, and reliability. We are excited to support their mission of helping healthcare consumers better understand, navigate, and pay for their healthcare, proving that advanced technology can be used to significantly improve the day-to-day experience of employers and their members." Collective Health's platform is built on a privacy-by-design framework, providing employers with the confidence that sensitive employee health data is protected and never used to train external foundational models. In addition, Collective Health's AI implementation follows the same rigorous security standards as its core infrastructure - including foundational, actively monitored compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule and SOC 2 Type 2 trust principles. Collective Health's commitment to privacy and compliance distinguish its approach in the market. CAI's(TM) development is anchored in a framework of responsible AI including: * Enhance, never diminish: AI must always improve the customer experience. * Superior accuracy: AI must be at least as accurate as a human, and ideally much more. * Human boundaries: AI can never be catastrophically wrong and must respect the necessity of human interaction. * Do no harm: AI must protect customers, workers, and society at large.
