Med-PaLM 2 has reportedly being tested since April at the Mayo Clinic research facility, a non-profit organisation situated in the US, among other places, according to a story by The Verge (via The Wall Street Journal)

Google believes that the LLM will be useful in areas with "limited access to doctors," according to the report. According to Google's senior director of research Greg Corrado, Med-PaLM 2 is still in its infancy.

Corrado stated that he would not want it to be a part of the "healthcare journey" of his own family; however, he believed that Med-PaLM 2 "takes the places in healthcare where AI can be beneficial and expands them by tenfold."
