Among the recent 120 global funding events in large language model-related fields, large models + healthcare took the top spot—up to 15% of funded large model companies are related to healthcare.
The healthcare field is becoming the "jewel in the crown" of large language models.
OpenAI, going full force in the healthcare field
Thrive's executive team is strong, with Sam Altman himself and co-founder Arianna Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post and Thrive Global. Former Google executive DeCarlos Love will serve as CEO.
Thrive will establish deep cooperative relationships with several renowned academic institutions and medical centers.
Thrive will develop an "AI health coach" platform, using generative AI technology to provide professional guidance on key health issues in daily life for chronic disease patients, aiming to reduce the global incidence of chronic diseases.
Thrive's AI health coach will leverage Thrive Global's medical expertise and incorporate OpenAI's latest AI technology. This generative AI will be trained based on the latest scientific data and user personal preferences.
Thrive will focus on providing health advice without venturing into medical diagnostic assistance.
OpenAI has been making frequent moves in the healthcare field since 2024.
In April, Moderna announced a partnership with OpenAI to deploy ChatGPT Enterprise across the entire company. Moderna has introduced generative AI in multiple scenarios, including clinical research data analysis, regulatory document processing, and PR communications.
Blooming on all fronts, generative AI is being implemented in multiple medical scenarios
AI health assistants have become a popular application of generative AI in the healthcare field. Besides Thrive, Healthify and Whoop are also collaborating with OpenAI to develop AI health assistants.
Generative AI's advantages in natural language processing make it a powerful tool for internal knowledge bases and document processing. Oscar Health, Lifespa, Summer Health, and others are applying generative AI in these scenarios.
In the "AI + Clinical" field, generative AI shows enormous potential. Paradigm uses the GPT-4 model to analyze cases, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of patient matching for clinical trials.
Generative AI can also assist doctors in providing more personalized treatment plans. Color Health collaborates with OpenAI to develop Copilot, creating personalized treatment plans for cancer patients.
Domestic companies are also quickly catching up. ### Baidu Health launched the Lingyi large model in September 2023 and recently released 4 medical large model applications and 1 open platform, covering various stages of the patient's medical journey.
Domestic generative AI unicorns are also all-in on healthcare
Besides large companies, unicorns in the generative AI field are also actively laying out the medical market.
