How can parents help kids and teens develop healthy screen habits? YouTube and the American Psychological Association (APA) have released a new guide to help. Here are three key takeaways. 1️⃣ The message matters more than the medium: Research suggests that the type of content teens watch is more important than how they watch it, underscoring the importance of industry policies and products to connect young viewers to enriching content, and protect them from content that depicts violence, aggression, risky behavior. 2️⃣ There’s no one-size-fits-all rule for screen time: Screen time should not negatively impact or replace critical adolescent needs, including sleep, exercise, hobbies, and in-person social interactions, and ongoing family conversations and ground rules are essential. 3️⃣ Be a digital role model: Parents, caregivers, educators, and other trusted adults all play an important role in modeling healthy media consumption behavior for teens.

When Thomas’ son Max was diagnosed with Alexander disease – a rare, and fatal, neurodegenerative disease, his family’s world was turned upside down. Like many parents in this situation, Thomas wanted to understand, but the science felt inaccessible. Dense research papers were filled with complexity – and that’s where AI became an ally. Using tools like Gemini, he was able to input complex materials and get digestible answers, but the impact didn’t stop there. Armed with clearer understanding, Thomas could ask more pointed questions to researchers. And to his surprise, they answered. Today, there are now 11 research groups that have done or are doing work on AxD that had not before. Below, watch Thomas’ story, and explore AI’s incredible potential to revolutionize medicine, genetics, biology and drug discovery: https://goo.gle/3EbnwY5

We’re delighted to announce two Nature Magazine publications from Project AMIE (Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer), our research on conversational medical AI! 💬 Paper 1: https://goo.gle/3G4DNic Paper 2: https://goo.gle/3G1naUu In the first of these papers, AMIE matched or exceeded primary care practitioners (PCPs) in a randomized, double-blind crossover study of simulated text-chat consultations with validated patient actors. Compared to our initial preprint we introduced new experiments showing that AMIE’s strong performance remained even in scenarios where the “true” underlying diagnosis was “no condition” - as sometimes happens in real primary care. In our second paper, we evaluated the ability of an earlier iteration of the AMIE system to generate a differential diagnosis alone or as an aid to clinicians. We looked at 303 challenging, real-world medical cases sourced from the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) Clinicopathologic Conferences (CPCs). On these ultra-complex tasks, AMIE outperformed clinicians and clinicians assisted by AMIE showed improved performance. Taken together these studies are examples of the art of the possible and how AI systems might be helpful tools for clinicians and patients alike. We are excited to responsibly study these systems in ethically-approved prospective settings as announced here: https://goo.gle/4lfBngy

Generative AI are systems that learn from existing data and use what they know to generate new content. From generating new hypotheses to accelerating discovery, it will undoubtedly shape research – and that includes the field of mental health. We want to find out if and how AI can be used in mental health. The first step is to understand how AI, clinicians and patients can collaborate in the most efficient, effective and safe ways. We’re doing so through a two-part funding activity that aims to improve measurement or treatment of anxiety, depression and psychosis. Successful applicants will first take part in a four-month accelerator delivered by MEXA. They can then apply for our funding call to receive up to £3 million for their research project – and access to resources and support from experts at Google Health and Google DeepMind.

In Japan, AI is helping hospitals reclaim valuable time for patient care. Ubie, a health tech startup, is using Google's Gemini models to reduce administrative burdens and streamline workflows—freeing up healthcare professionals to focus on what matters most. At one hospital, Ubie’s AI-powered discharge summary tool cut nurses’ documentation time by 42.5%, easing workloads and reducing burnout risk. At another, AI-driven referral letter summaries improved efficiency by 54%, making admissions smoother for doctors and patients alike.
