We have an opportunity to save more lives around the world than ever before—and I want to do even more to help. That's why I'm giving away virtually all of my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years.

Another medical milestone! The first patient treated with a prime edited therapeutic shows positive clinical outcomes consistent with effective rescue of his chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a debilitating and life-shortening primary immunodeficiency. At least 19 base editing

If you are in the medical field and you've been confused or skeptical about AI agents, you really need to check this out. Today we released our AI Healthcare Orchestrator Agent. Among other things, it is being used as a truly helpful (and intelligent) participant in tumor board

Stanford Medicine is orchestrating multiple agents to connect medical data, clinical trials, and more - all with the goal of delivering more effective cancer care. Incredible to see in action.

Imagine AI that is a helpful member of a cancer care team. I know, I know -- this sounds like the typical AI hype you hear from lots of places. But this is real: an AI orchestrator that makes AI useful in the form of an agent that collaborates effectively with a team of doctors.

Here are some great examples of what it's like to use the Healthcare Agent Orchestrator. We're always creating bits and pieces of great agent tech, but what's important here is the seamless ability to bring it together in a practical, real-world humans+AI collaborative setting.

We’re making it easy for developers to build and deploy healthcare agents, especially for complex cancer care scenarios like tumor boards. This demo shows how to: 1. Deploy and fine-tune health AI imaging models 2. Customize agents using health AI models as tools 3.
