Artificial Intelligence Company DeepMind Joins Google Health

DeepMind, a UK-based company, is teaming up with Google Health to tap into expertise in areas like artificial intelligence, app development, data security, and cloud storage. For the last three years, DeepMind has built a team to tackle complex problems in healthcare. Alongside teams at Google, DeepMind will work to build products that support care teams and improve patient outcomes. It’s remarkable that many frontline clinicians, even in the world’s most advanced hospitals, are still reliant on clunky desktop systems and pagers that make delivering fast and safe patient care challenging. DeepMind and Google Health will aim to develop tools that could potentially help prevent sepsis and acute kidney injury. By joining forces with Google Health, DeepMind will add to its many projects aimed at improving patient care. The company recently developed a clinical decision support tool that can accurately identify more than 50 eye diseases.
