Google is actively testing AMIE, a research medical AI system designed to conduct synchronous video consultations with patients. In a recent evaluation, AMIE performed alongside professional patient actors and received clinical evaluator ratings comparable to those of primary care physicians across critical measures. The study involved fifteen trained actors who simulated various medical conditions, covering […]
Bunkerhill Health has successfully raised $55 million in funding to enhance its agentic AI platform, Carebricks. This Series B funding round saw continued support from notable investors like Sequoia Capital, Felicis, Optum Ventures, and Y Combinator. The primary question in the healthcare sector remains whether the new software can effectively operate within active hospital environments. […]
Google DeepMind, in collaboration with Isomorphic Labs, has initiated a bioresilience program to reduce the potential misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) in biological fields while enhancing responses to outbreaks. This partnership has rapidly expanded, establishing over 15 collaborations with government agencies, biosecurity organizations, and research institutions in just one year. The initiative stems from the […]
AWS (Amazon Web Services) recently highlighted how Bluesight developed Prism, an AI layer that enhances hospital pharmacy and compliance data integration across its product suite.
