A mind blowing Google Event ft. AI vs Humans vs Bears... And now, AWS join the crew too?
Welcome to the fam 💜
Oh hey crew,
Short update today featuring our fav big tech overlords
What do you get when you throw 5 leading minds in health and AI, 3 killer brands, and +200 people in a room together?
One HELL of a mind-bending event
(yes, we’re biased - duh)
Last Thursday, we all got to go to the incredible Google HQ Sydney *squeals* for a deep dive into AI, data, and Gen AI in health
Hearing firsthand all the exciting things Google is upto in health, playing with MedPaLM & Alphafold demos, and of course - hearing from our INSANE panelists
Big thank you to the INCREDIBLE:
Lee Yearsley of aKin, Dr Jarrel Seah from Harrison.ai, Dr. Thomas Kelly of Heidi Health, Andi Partovi from Google & Dr Jill Freyne from the CSIRO 💜
To try put it in words is impossible. And we made one BIG boo boo…
We. Didn’t. Record. It.
Anyway, we covered:
🔥 What's happening at the cutting edge of AI in health
🎉 Exciting things to watch
🐻 Bears vs Human (long story)
🚨 The problems we face
🚀 How we might be able to approach them
💜 Bias & Ethics
💰Equity in data, access, and funding
And most importantly - how we can all work together to actually ensure this tech helps put the human back in healthcare.
Improving outcomes and lives. Build great businesses. And, actually make health more accessible, accurate, equitable, and enjoyable.
TLDR; It's still super early, with a hell of a lot to overcome and no set answers, yet...
But damn - with the right foundations and guardrails, that future is looking bright ✨
BIG thank you’s to:
The amazing Google Cloud, Side Stage Ventures & What The Health teams
Our epic WTH partners Medibank & Hola Health
And of course, all the legends who made time to come 💕
(Sorry to those who didn’t get a spot - hopefully, next time and promise there will be more)
