This week's top stories include the Supreme Court seeming willing to keep the Affordable Care Act, Google Cloud unveiling AI tools for analyzing unstructured medical text, and Epic customers gaining access to a COVID-19 risk prediction model.

Now available in public preview, the offerings are designed to help organizations and individuals pull clinically-relevant insights from large volumes of free text housed in medical records.

The validated algorithm, which can forecast the risk for an individual testing positive, can help make more accurate predictions and enable more efficient resource allocation for health systems.
