From developing new treatments to improving the accuracy of diagnosis and personalizing care for patients, startups are using AI to make healthcare better for everyone.

To support their efforts and help founders enhance health outcomes for people around the world, in May we announced the Google for Startups Growth Academy: AI for Health program for companies based in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

This three-month program consists of virtual workshops on best practices for AI and leadership development, responsible innovation, product design and customer acquisition. It also includes one-on-one mentorship sessions and technical project support from experts from Google Research, Google Health, Verily, Fitbit, Google DeepMind and more. There will be two in-person summits (including the program kickoff in London on September 27 and 28) designed to connect founders to venture capitalists, industry experts and other founders building with AI in the healthcare and wellbeing space. After the program’s conclusion founders will continue to receive expert support through the Google for Startups alumni network.
