Oracle has added contextual and conversational AI to its ambulatory electronic health record products. Clinicians can use voice commands to request information such as patient lab results and current medications.

The company plans to introduce a full range of acute care functionality in 2026.

The new Oracle Health EHR is built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This employs Agentic AI to organise information and uncover insights. To help improve accuracy, Oracle’s system has been trained on clinical concepts, including conditions, lab results, medications and care pathways.

Oracle Health EHR aims to help alleviate clinicians’ cognitive load by embedding AI directly into clinical workflows. This will provide quick access to information, limit context switching, and streamline tasks such as documentation and coding.

“When Oracle committed to transforming the healthcare industry, we knew we had to start with the EHR,” said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. “While our competitors seem content with bolting features onto antiquated technology, we took on the enormous and highly complex challenge of creating an entirely new EHR, built in the cloud for the Agentic AI era. Our agents act as smart assistants that can dynamically surface critical insights and queue suggested actions while enabling clinicians to remain in control. This is the future of intelligent care, where our healthcare providers are freed from technical baggage, so they can focus on caring, connecting, healing, and preventing illness.”

“Oracle continues to aggressively advance healthcare innovation by building an intelligent, comprehensive health ecosystem of solutions, built natively for healthcare providers, payers, life sciences, public health, and consumers,” said Mutaz Shegewi, Senior Research Director, Worldwide Healthcare Provider AI, Platforms and Technologies, IDC. “The availability of the ambulatory EHR highlights Oracle’s fundamental focus on delivering an immersive, AI-first, and cloud-based solution designed to optimise clinical workflows and reimagine clinician and patient experiences.”
