Google—Google Health deployed AI diagnostic tools for TB screening, cancer detection, and ultrasound accessibility in underserved regions
Google Health developed and deployed AI-powered medical diagnostic tools across multiple domains: partnering with Nexus Intelligence for TB screening from chest x-rays in endemic countries, collaborating with Mayo Clinic on AI-assisted cancer radiotherapy planning, and building AI models to expand ultrasound access for healthcare providers with limited training. In January 2025, Google released MedGemma 1.5, an open medical AI model for interpreting 3D CT/MRI scans and histopathology images. These tools aim to improve diagnostic accuracy and accessibility in resource-limited healthcare settings.
