Google gives $3 million for RAD-AID's AI-enhanced healthcare mission in low-income regions

Google has provided funding to RAD-AID, a non-profit organisation based in Chevy Chase, Maryland, as part of its commitment to advancing Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. 

RAD-AID, founded by CEO Daniel J. Mollura, focuses on increasing radiology medical care in underserved and poor communities, especially in countries like Kenya and Pakistan. The organisation uses AI-enabled platforms to help triage patients, primarily for respiratory diseases and breast cancer, as well as interpreting X-rays and scans. 

Google's grant of $3 million in technical assistance, cash support, and Google Cloud credits will further enhance RAD-AID's efforts to provide critical healthcare services where medical professionals are in short supply.
