100-word summary
CVS Health and Google Cloud are building Health100, a new platform launching in 2026 that aims to connect pharmacies, insurers, care providers, and digital health apps through Google's Gemini AI. The partnership turns a traditional pharmacy chain into a tech company competing for your health data. CVS will run Health100 as a subsidiary, building an open system that lets other health companies plug in specialized apps. The platform promises real-time interactions, cost transparency, and potentially wearable device connections. Google gets a foothold in America's fragmented $4 trillion healthcare system, while CVS bets AI can keep customers loyal across its sprawling pharmacy, insurance, and clinic businesses.
