At the Google for Health Summit, it announced an expanded collaboration with Singapore's Ministry of Health: deploying open models like MedGemma in clinical settings while maintaining in-country data sovereignty, and backing pathogen surveillance via Duke-NUS's PathGen — a blueprint for taking AI safely "from code to clinic."
