Official Google for Health news and updates on how we’re progressing our mission to help billions of people be healthier.

[News from Google @NewsFromGoogle]

Doctors spend a significant amount of time during appointments gathering basic information. Google researchers are studying how AMIE, our experimental model system, can help doctors spend more time on collaborative care: addressing patient concerns, identifying symptoms, and figuring out what to do next.

Biosecurity is one of the most urgent challenges for the AI era. Bringing SynthID to biology so AI-generated proteins can be watermarked is a critical step - and we’re open sourcing SynthID Bio tools so the research community can build on this work. Published in @Nature today, congrats to the team! https://t.co/Y4sv8bnGQY

Getting access to quality healthcare often depends on where you live and whether a specialist is available nearby. In busy city hospitals and remote village clinics around the world, healthcare workers face challenges in treating a high volume of patients with limited specialized help. To help address these challenges, we developed MedGemma, a collection of open-weight AI models designed to understand medical text and images. Built on our Gemma models, MedGemma provides developers, researchers, and public health organizations with an adaptable foundation to build specialized tools to support triage, diagnostic screenings, and more. Since its release, MedGemma has been downloaded more than 10 million times worldwide.
