Next generation medical image interpretation with MedGemma 1.5 and medical speech to text with MedASR

Google Research · 6 months ago

Google released MedGemma 1.5 4B, an updated medical AI model that now handles high-dimensional medical imaging like CT and MRI scans alongside text and 2D images, and launched MedASR, a speech-to-text model fine-tuned for medical dictation. MedGemma 1.5 improved accuracy by 3% on CT classification and 14% on MRI classification over its predecessor, while MedASR achieved 58% fewer errors than Whisper on chest X-ray dictations. Google is hosting a $100,000 MedGemma Impact Challenge hackathon and making both models freely available on Hugging Face and Google Cloud for developers to build healthcare applications.
