医疗AI:MedGemma下载量超千万,AMIE推进真实临床研究

上周发表于《自然·医学》的MedGemma已被超过65000名创新者下载逾1000万次,作为开发者构建专业应用的开源基础。开发者已将其适配于当地社区需求,从拥挤诊所的快速分诊到眼病和宫颈癌筛查。谷歌最新研究推进了MedGemma的工具使用能力,使其能够调用可用的健康记录和临床医生依赖的其他应用,并正在探索乳腺X光、超声和心电图等新模态。早期迹象表明,在回答临床问题、解读放射影像、皮肤图像和病理切片等能力上有显著提升。

在AMIE研究方面,谷歌探索AI在临床推理和对话中的应用。今年发表于《自然》的研究将AMIE的能力从初步诊断推进到长期疾病管理,发表于《自然·医学》的研究展示了其跨模态数据(如医学图像和实验室结果)推理能力。发表在《柳叶刀》的新研究展示了其在真实临床环境中的应用前景:在贝斯以色列女执事医疗中心,98名患者在紧急护理就诊前安全地咨询了AMIE,临床医生报告称在75%的案例中AI摘要帮助他们做好了准备。谷歌还在推进AMIE的多模态能力向实时视频咨询发展,并与Included Health合作在全国范围内开展AI在真实虚拟护理环境中的随机研究。

灾害预警:山洪预测模型取得突破

谷歌的全球水文模型(发表于《自然》)可提前7天提供可靠的河流洪水预报,覆盖150多个国家超过20亿人。然而一年前,山洪预测仍似乎遥不可及。Groundsource是谷歌近期推出的AI驱动方法,将公开的危机信息转化为高质量历史数据集。谷歌首先将Groundsource与Gemini结合分析洪水相关新闻报道,创建了包含超过260万次洪水事件的结构化数据集。该数据集帮助克服了山洪地面真实数据缺乏的问题,并训练出新模型,可提前24小时预测城市地区发生山洪的可能性。该数据集现已纳入谷歌地球AI集合,并向公众开放以帮助科学家开展进一步研究。

教育工具:生成式UI打造互动STEM模拟

通过生成式UI,谷歌可超越静态输出,动态生成功能性交互软件。谷歌在教育领域探索了这一研究实验,通过教学护栏微调生成式UI,使教师能够创建符合课程的定制引导式STEM模拟。示例库包含30多个AI生成的学习互动内容,均经教师审核,涵盖初中和高中物理、化学、生物和数学。学校可注册谷歌教育试点计划分享反馈,帮助改进模拟并开发更多供公众使用的内容。

协作工具:Play with Putty开放等候名单

Play with Putty允许团队在共享环境中共同构建和制作原型,而不打断创作流程。它展示了当AI模型变得更加高效、能够从自然语言提示生成完整界面时的可能性。用户可直接与界面任何部分交互,多人编辑支持无缝实时协作。谷歌最初设计该工具是为了让研究人员和团队跨谷歌协作制作原型,例如探索谷歌地球AI的新解决方案和可视化。此后,谷歌在Google Labs上开放了等候名单,将人类协作的乐趣带给各地使用AI的团队。

马蒂亚斯表示,这十项更新展示了谷歌广泛研究组合在多领域的最新进展。当技术放大人类智慧时,技术才能成功。在这个研究与科学发现的黄金时代,机遇比以往任何时候都更大——开创突破并分享赋能他人的工具。

Yossi Matias, Vice President, Google & GM, Google Research
Today, at our flagship Research@ event, we're sharing research breakthroughs that amplify human ingenuity. From planetary intelligence to advanced medical workflows, we’re putting capabilities once out of reach in the hands of people worldwide. Here are 10 highlights.
We are living through a golden age of research and scientific discovery. For the scientists and researchers at Google Research, the opportunity extends beyond pioneering breakthroughs. We’re also building and sharing robust tools that empower the global ecosystem. AI acts as an amplifier of human ingenuity, creating the conditions for curiosity and rigorous inquiry to flourish.
Today, at our Research@ event in Mountain View, we are demonstrating how we put never-before-possible insights and capabilities into the hands of doctors, scientists, developers, public health officials, and others.
Here are 10 highlights:
Addressing global challenges requires accurate, real-world planetary intelligence. With Google Earth AI, it becomes possible to forecast public health threats, accelerate clean energy investments, provide businesses with foresight, and more. Today, we’re expanding early access and inviting partners to explore three new ways to access Google Earth AI’s new, experimental capabilities:
We’re also announcing the integration of Google Dataset Search for querying from more than 100 million public datasets, and TimesFM for planetary nowcasting and forecasting iterations. All these capabilities are powered by over 70 geospatial tools including planetary foundation models like Remote Sensing Foundation Model (RSFM) and Population Dynamics Foundation Model (PDFM). They are validated by empirical benchmarks detailed in today’s Earth AI Technical Report. They enable developers, health leaders and enterprise teams to automate complex geospatial workflows.
To further support social impact efforts, Google.org is providing $10 million in funding to organizations working on crisis resilience and public health. This includes $2 million to The Milken Institute to unlock infrastructure bottlenecks for affordable housing, clean energy, broadband, safe water systems, and other essential infrastructure.
Existing literature offers a great source of knowledge for driving new scientific discoveries. We built a multi-agent orchestrator, enabling scientists to reproduce previous methods and analyses and then apply them in new settings to tackle important research challenges. As an example, this helped researchers apply a new methodology for solving inverse design problems in fluid mechanics to the design of urinary catheters. They discovered catheter designs that, in simulation, were better at preventing bacterial infections.
This complements our existing tools to accelerate scientific workflows. Empirical Research Assistance enables scientists to generate and test thousands of code variations in parallel, and has helped researchers produce results from biology to cosmology to economics. Co-Scientist, built in collaboration with Google DeepMind, is a multi-agent tool that can generate novel hypotheses and has already helped partners, like researchers at Stanford University, uncover repurposed medicines to fight liver fibrosis.
Thorough peer review is a core part of the scientific method. We created Deep Review, an agentic system that provides rigorous verification across complex documents. This is particularly important as AI is increasingly being used to help experts draft technical documents. Many Google researchers and external authors have already used an early version of this system to review over 16,000 research publications submitted to top-tier computer science conferences. It helps with the heavy cognitive lifting by checking logical consistency and grounding facts, while scientists maintain authority over creative direction. Today, we’re expanding access to Deep Review to the general public to help people verify a variety of technical documents from legal agreements to financial reports.
With the rise of wearable devices, hardware manufacturers need the tools to develop efficient edge applications to meet the high expectations of customers for all-day performance. Earlier this year, we launched the first Coralboard from Synaptics, using Google’s Coral NPU accelerator core. It enables AI and ML engineers to rapidly prototype and build devices. Next week, we’ll be revealing our co-designed, next-gen, low-power Edge AI chip, created by Synaptics using our open source IP. The chip delivers greater efficiency and performance for design engineers building the next generation of smart glasses and watches, connected cameras, streamers, and industrial vision and voice systems.
While language models excel with text, business and operational decisions also rely on numbers. TimesFM and TabFM are foundational models engineered specifically to reason over raw numerical distributions — time-series streams (data that changes over time) and structured tabular data (like spreadsheets). Both models deliver accurate predictions out of the box with zero training. They rank at the top of leading public benchmarks in their fields and are available to all Cloud BigQuery users. Today, we are announcing our upcoming integration of these models into Gemini for business. Soon, business owners, analysts, operation leads or coordinators can forecast trends like product sales or hospital bed capacity, based on complex operational tables and millions of rows of data. Sensitive data stays safely within an organization’s perimeter, and people get the answers they need in seconds.
MedGemma, published last week in Nature Medicine, has been downloaded more than 10 million times by more than 65,000 unique innovators. It serves as an open foundation for developers building specialized applications. Developers have adapted it to meet the needs of their local communities, from enabling faster triage in overcrowded clinics to screening for eye disease and cervical cancer.
As developers fine-tune MedGemma for more specialities and care settings, we’re pushing the frontier of open health AI. Our latest research advances MedGemma with tool use, so it can draw on available health records and other applications clinicians rely on. We’re exploring new modalities like mammography, ultrasound and electrocardiograms. Early signs point to substantial gains in capabilities, such as answering clinical questions and interpreting radiology scans, skin images and pathology slides. With these advances, we hope to expand what innovators can build, bringing effective healthcare to more communities around the world.
With our research on AMIE, we’re exploring the use of AI in clinical reasoning and conversations, to understand how it could empower clinicians and strengthen the patient-clinician relationship. Our research this year in Nature advanced AMIE’s capabilities beyond initial diagnosis toward long-term disease management, and in Nature Medicine, we showed how it can reason across multimodal data like medical images and lab results.
Our new study in The Lancet offers a promising look into how its capabilities could come to life in real-world clinical settings. At Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, 98 patients safely consulted AMIE ahead of urgent care visits, and clinicians reported that the AI summaries helped them prepare in 75% of cases. We’re also advancing AMIE’s multimodal capabilities towards real-time video consultations and have embarked on a nationwide randomized study of AI in real-world virtual care settings in partnership with Included Health.
AMIE is part of a rigorous research journey going back to our landmark MedPalm paper, and it’s still early days.
AI can help us predict disasters with greater accuracy and lead time, giving communities a better chance to prepare and save lives. We’ve been making progress towards our crisis resilience north star: a world where no one is surprised by a natural disaster.
Take flood forecasting. Our global hydrologic model, published in Nature, allows us to provide reliable river forecasts up to 7 days in advance covering more than 2 billion people in over 150 countries for the most significant and impactful riverine floods. Yet just one year ago, predicting flash floods still seemed out of reach. Groundsource is our recent AI-powered methodology that turns publicly available information about crises into high-quality historical datasets, allowing researchers to build more accurate predictive models.
We first applied Groundsource with Gemini to analyze flood-related news reports and created a structured dataset with over 2.6 million flood events. This dataset helped us overcome a lack of ground-truth data for flash floods and train a new model that can predict the likelihood of flash flooding in urban areas up to 24 hours in advance. The dataset is now part of the Google Earth AI collection and we've made it openly available to help scientists conduct further analysis and research.
With generative UI, we can go beyond static outputs to dynamically generate functional, interactive software. Our research experiment explores this in the domain of education. We fine-tune generative UI with pedagogical guardrails to enable teachers to create custom, guided STEM simulations tailored to their curriculum. The sample library features over 30 AI-generated learning interactives, all vetted by teachers, for middle and high school physics, chemistry, biology, and math. Schools can sign up to the Google for Education Pilot Program to share feedback. This will help us improve the simulations and develop more for public use, making practice far more interactive and engaging.
Play with Putty allows teams to build and prototype together in a shared environment without breaking their creative flow. It demonstrates what’s possible as AI models become more efficient and capable of generating entire interfaces from natural language prompts. People can interact directly with any part of the interface, while multi-player editing supports seamless, real-time collaboration. We first designed Play with Putty to empower our researchers and teams across Google to prototype together — for example, exploring new solutions and visualizations with Google Earth AI. We’ve since opened up the waitlist on Google Labs to bring the joy of human collaboration to teams using AI everywhere.
These 10 updates highlight recent progress from our extensive research portfolio across many domains. Technology succeeds when we amplify human ingenuity. In this golden age of research and scientific discovery, the opportunity is greater than ever — to pioneer breakthroughs and share tools that empower others, in collaboration with many. We’re excited about the journey ahead.
