Overview

What is MedLM?

MedLM is Google Cloud's family of healthcare-focused foundation models, available through Vertex AI for healthcare developers building clinical and research applications. Designed for development teams rather than independent clinical use, it supports healthcare AI development while requiring qualified healthcare professionals to review all AI-generated outputs.


• Built for healthcare developers and organisations creating clinical and research applications on Google Cloud.

• Provides healthcare-focused foundation models through Vertex AI to support clinical and research AI development.

• Requires qualified healthcare professionals to review and oversee all AI-generated outputs before clinical use.

• Should be evaluated for safety evidence, integration options, governance features, and pricing to ensure it meets clinical and operational requirements.


MedLM is best suited to healthcare organisations developing AI-powered clinical and research applications, provided its governance, integration, and oversight requirements align with existing workflows.
