Google's MedLM: Revolutionizing Healthcare with AI Models

Google has introduced MedLM, a suite of health-care-specific artificial intelligence (AI) models aimed at assisting clinicians and researchers in complex studies and summarizing doctor-patient interactions. The suite includes a large and medium-sized AI model, both built on Med-PaLM 2, a language model trained on medical data. Google plans to introduce health-care-specific versions of its newest AI model, Gemini, to MedLM in the future. Companies like HCA Healthcare have been testing Google's technology, using it to automate documentation of doctor-patient interactions and improve workflows. However, challenges remain, such as the potential for incorrect information and the need for careful implementation to avoid risks to patients.
