Google Research and DeepMindthe artificial intelligence research laboratory of Google revealed information about their new advancement in the field of medicine: the Med-Gemini family of advanced language models. Designed specifically for medical applications, this model promised soutperform its competitors, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 Chat, in terms of its potential for clinical diagnosis. Additionally, Med-Gemini outperformed industry standards in 14 relevant benchmarks.
Med-Gemini stands out for being a model designed for specific purposes in the field of medicine. Unlike other major language models, This development shows more solid clinical reasoning under conditions of doubt and lacks bias. This results in more accurate, reliable and detailed results for complex clinical reasoning tasks.
In multimodal benchmark testing, Med-Gemini significantly outperformed GPT-4 on seven points, including images from the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). This demonstrates the model’s ability to understand and analyze both textual and visual clinical information.
According to Google, Med-Gemini will simplify searching the Electronic Health Records (EHR) database, allowing doctors to analyze critical data more efficiently. The researchers confirmed that the model demonstrated good performance in medical testing, medical knowledge, clinical reasoning, genomics, medical imaging, medical records, and videos. However, Google notes that adjustments were still required before its final implementation in healthcare.
This advance in artificial intelligence promises to revolutionize the field of medicine, providing professionals with more precise and efficient tools for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, it remains to be seen how Med-Gemini will be integrated into medical practice and what its long-term impact will be.
Fury over the new functions that Google launched in its Play Store
Googlethe Mountain View giant, worked in recent months on a series of improvements for the Play Storeyour platform of applications and games for devices Android. The new features are a fundamental advance to guarantee the safety of users.
“Some developers have abused Android’s permissions to read one-time passwords, so this move by Google is an important step to protect users from potential privacy violations.“, noted the company. In addition, the function of disallow direct deletion of an app’s account and data from the storewhich provides an additional layer of security.
Another new feature that was recently introduced is the ability to download two applications simultaneously from the Google Play Storeand.

Previously, users had to wait for one download to finish before starting another, but thanks to these new features that will no longer be necessary. However, it is important to note that simultaneous downloading is limited to two applications and It is only available for new installations. Will not work for existing app updates.
This new feature It was deployed starting with Play Store version 40.6.31 and is now available for users with Android 14 and earlier versions.
