> There are still plenty of expensive threatments like cancer were the diagnosis is also costly just due to the tech used. > A proper MRI is expensive, the analysis is slow and need experts etc. I'm sure that's very true. A company that's struggles to keep a rudimentary chat app running for any length of time, spectacularly miscalculated its fiber project, to name a few obvious ones, does not instill any confidence that they would be the one to improve this. The medical industry is far more conservative and far more complicated than what Google has proven it is able to deal with IMO. You can't just move fast and break things, you can make shit up as you go along, you can't invent your own standards. > There are plenty of things to optimize. They've also not performed impressively on any kind of "AI" related thing, if that's what they're thinking. Their self-driving cars are still a curiosity and a long way off being revenue positive, if there is even a path to it, for example. Industry and legislative inertia and baggage aside, I don't even think a big old cumbersome dinosaur like Google has the chops to come in and make a big change. Put it this way if some revolutionary new startup company had a really great idea in healthcare, you would be disappointed if Google bought them. |

Google maps was and still is free, available and changed lives.
GCP is extremely innovative. From full end to end encryption including encryption on rest.
Google workspace works like a charm.
They have well working ML in all newer pixel phones for images etc.
They have tons of bleeding edge research papers on so many different ml topics (are you aware of their research blog?)
Google has one of the best / if not the best certified cloud env in the world. They already work with the biggest health service provider in the USA.
