At Google we're committed to supporting entrepreneurs and high potential startups drive the responsible development of AI healthcare solutions. Earlier In February @Google for Startups announced the second edition of the Growth Academy: AI for Health program and I am honored to serve on the advisory board. More than 500 startups from Europe, Africa and the Middle East applied and today, we are pleased to announce the startups who have been hand selected as part of the program. Meet the startups → https://goo.gle/3X7kKKe I had the distinct pleasure of being in Paris for our launch event hosted at the impressive PariSanté Campus. Meeting the startups founders was inspiring and I wish them all success! Thank you to Google's own Yuval Passov for hosting a fireside chat where I was joined by Antoine Tesniere whose expertise and vision will surely be a major factor in France's successful leadership in health AI. The always impressive Joëlle Barral followed us with an outstanding keynote sharing Google's progress in building Generative AI models to support science and medicine including Alphafold and Med-Gemini.

Every plant, animal and human cell holds billions of molecular machines made up of proteins, DNA and other molecules. 🧬 No single piece works on its own, and only by seeing how they interact together, across millions of types of combinations, can we start to truly understand life’s processes. Enter AlphaFold 3. This revolutionary model can predict the structure and interactions of all life’s molecules with unprecedented accuracy, transforming our understanding of the biological world and drug discovery, as scientists can access the majority of its capabilities for free through our newly launched AlphaFold Server, an easy-to-use research tool.

This week, Google Health participated in the 77th World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva which focused on "All for Health, Health for All." This theme resonates with our health work at Google as we build products, services, and discoveries that work for everyone, everywhere. Throughout many discussions and meetings this week, Google’s Chief Health Officer, Dr. Karen DeSalvo, emphasized the need to ensure our technologies solve the right challenges and problems for consumers, our partners, and society at large. Our goal is for AI to be helpful and enable partners to deliver on their missions in health as well as advance the broader medical and scientific community. A key pillar in this effort is a multi-year collaboration agreement we signed with the World Health Organization last year. This builds on work we did together during the COVID-19 pandemic to connect people to trustworthy information during an unprecedented global health crisis. Some of the ways we have brought that agreement to life since then include: - Adding authoritative information in Knowledge Panels – from the common cold to colon cancer – across more than 80 countries, such as Botswana, Pakistan, and the Philippines. - Building together to enable interoperable data standards to help accelerate the transition towards person-centered care – especially in low-resource settings. - Adopting a set of WHO principles to guide our product development work as we build age-appropriate mental health experiences for teens on YouTube. At a small reception hosted by Dr. Karen DeSalvo, ministers of health from around the world alongside attendees and officials from the WHO joined us to talk about how we can continue to work together to deliver on this mission of All for Health, Health for All. We look forward to what’s to come.

✨ Introducing Med-Gemini, our new family of AI research models specialized for medicine! ✨ Med-Gemini models are tuned from Gemini, building on its advanced reasoning, multimodal, and long-context capabilities to unlock new possibilities for medicine. Our research includes: - State-of-the-art performance across multiple benchmarks, outperforming other models. This includes an impressive 91.1% accuracy on the MedQA benchmark. - Ability to generate reports for 2D images as well as, for the first time, generate reports for complex 3D datasets like 3D brain CTs. - Enhanced ability to analyze medical images, videos, genomics, health records, and more. - Advanced reasoning and efficient use of web search for accurate medical answers. - Long-context abilities to summarize health records and analyze research papers. - The first large medical model to predict health outcomes from genomic data converted to polygenic risk scores. Further research is needed, but we’re excited by the potential of this research to support healthcare organizations, clinicians, and patient workflows. Learn more in our blog: https://goo.gle/4bkmyEa
