Biomedical research is often bottlenecked by the technical complexity of analyzing multi-layered hierarchical data, creating a "persona gap" between clinical experts and data scientists. Discover how Verily Data Explorer, built on clinical expertise from Vanderbilt University Medical Center can bridge the divide between clinical and technical expertise.
We are excited to join Fast Company and The Johns Hopkins University for an evening of conversation on applied health: where technology meets the body. In a fireside chat, our CEO Stephen Gillett and Brendan Vaughan will explore the next era of precision health – making healthcare more predictive, preventive and precise. 🗓️ Tuesday, June 30 at 7:00 PM ET 📍 Washington, D.C.
“This World Cup is a step forward—we have people coming from around the world, and the disease environment could change relatively quickly. We need a signal today, and not six weeks from today,” says Dr. Vindell Washington, Verily Health Chief Physician Executive. As the 2026 world soccer games continue, our wastewater monitoring efforts to safeguard public health are in full gear. Our dashboard is providing continuous updates on pathogen trends (SARS-CoV-2, RSV, Influenza A) across 16 North American sites.
What if the patient, not just the molecule, were the true driver of medical innovation? 💡 Dr. Vindell Washington, Verily Health Chief Physician Executive, will take the stage at Aspen Ideas: Health for an insightful discussion on how patient data is reshaping the future of medicine. The panel will explore how integrating clinical, real-world, and patient-reported data across the entire care journey is fueling earlier diagnoses, smarter care pathways, and a new era of medical breakthroughs.
Carolyn Bradner Jasik, MD, Verily Health Associate Chief Clinical Officer, kicked off AHIP 2026 this week with a deep dive into a new category of AI-enabled care. Key insights: ➡️ “The technology is actually the easy part.” While AI development is manageable, the challenge is building an ecosystem of partnerships to handle regulation, payment, auditing, and ensuring physician support. ➡️ “You cannot do AI if you don't have clean data, a lot of data, and the right data.” Successful implementation of AI in healthcare is dependent on data quality. ➡️ "Patients just want good, accurate, helpful, empathetic care." Despite the complexity of models and protocols, the primary objective remains focused on the patient.
During the recent Bio-IT World Conference, David Glazer, Verily Distinguished Engineer, presented on "Solving for friction: Next-generation TREs for accelerating discovery." He highlighted three key barriers slowing biomedical discovery: • Policy friction (complex data use agreements) • Science friction (time spent on data wrangling) • Technology friction (fragmented tooling) Verily Pre, our AI-native platform for precision health, is designed to reduce this friction. It includes Refinery for data cleaning, Exchange for data discovery, and Workbench as an intuitive Trusted Research Environment (TRE) for secure analysis. During the conference, Jonathan Z Amar, Verily AI and Data Science Manager, joined a panel discussing data-specialized foundation models (FMs). He shared Verily’s approach to training a multi-modal foundation model on the All of Us (AOU) Research Program data, and how that might unblock new insights to predict disease risk and improve our understanding of health over time.
⚽ Ready for the 2026 world soccer games to kick off next week? We are! As part of a coalition effort to protect public health throughout the event, Verily Health will test wastewater samples for pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, influenza, RSV, norovirus, and measles, and aggregate wastewater data from additional sources. Check our dashboard for regular updates on pathogen trends and clear, actionable analysis from Katelyn Jetelina, PhD, MPH, of Your Local Epidemiologist.

Carolyn Bradner Jasik, MD, Verily Health Associate Chief Clinical Officer, will be speaking at AHIP 2026 about the path towards AI-enabled care. This 15-minute session on Tuesday, June 9 at 8:45am PT dives into a new category of care driven by AI and how we get there.
Most AI guardrails are built for general-purpose tasks, like catching policy or rules violations. Because they aren't specialized, these tools often miss the subtle signs that someone is in a mental health crisis. At Verily Health, we’ve created technology specifically for healthcare. Our new research in NPJ Digital Medicine explains how we built a safety system and a dataset designed for clinical needs. Our guardrail catches signs of distress that general AI guardrails miss. This means we can detect true crises more consistently. Read the full details of our publication and benchmark dataset.
The theme for this year’s Clinical Trials Day was "Research Rising" — a movement for more inclusive, patient-centered research. 🌟 Researchers have the opportunity to unlock breakthroughs with more access to a continuous, "living evidence story" that understands a patient's real-world behaviors and journey over the long term. The Verily Lifelong Health Study provides research opportunities for consented participants to securely integrate their multimodal health data. By linking clinical records (EHR) and lifestyle inputs to wearable devices and contextual surveys, the study creates a single, high definition longitudinal view. For researchers, this provides the real-world evidence needed to accelerate personalized breakthroughs and understand the long-term effects of treatments. For participants, it fundamentally shifts the dynamic from passive "research subject" to an "engaged health partner" — ensuring research truly rises to meet the needs of all patients.
