We are thrilled to receive the “Building Tomorrow Together” award from the Dallas Regional Chamber for our commitment to fostering healthcare innovation and collaboration in the Dallas area. The Verily leadership team is pictured here with our Chairman and CEO Stephen Gillett holding the award. Earlier this year, we announced the Verily Dallas office as our new headquarters. We are excited to further contribute to this growing healthcare and tech community.
Heard at HLTH USA! MedCity News sat down with Vindell Washington, our Chief Clinical Officer and Head of Health Equity, to talk about our chronic care solution Verily Lightpath,* and how data and technology can be leveraged to deliver more personalized, precise and equitable care. *To be available in early 2026
Hear Verily’s Chief People Officer Kerrie Peraino talk to Jaime Klein of Inspire Human Resources about her insights on human-centric leadership, the opportunities for AI in HR, and how companies like Verily are developing their leaders.
Recently, at HLTH USA and in the surrounding Las Vegas area, Verily, the Southern Nevada Health District and Clark County Water Reclamation District, monitored certain infectious disease pathogens in the community wastewater. The insights will help inform the public health response to infectious disease in a city that sees so many new visitors during a major event. Wastewater epidemiology is transforming how we detect and respond to the spread of viruses. Get the basics – how it was born, what wastewater is, and the work Verily scientists are doing to successfully track a variety of infectious diseases.
Traditional public health monitoring for infectious diseases often takes days to weeks. Verily partners with treatment facilities to bring wastewater epidemiology to the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada, for near real time detection of pathogens — helping to keep the community informed.
As part of several policy updates finalized in August 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services endorsed the concept of “fit-for-purpose” (FFP) studies and announced plans to issue a FFP study guidance document. To help inform this forthcoming guidance and contribute to ongoing dialogue around the role of FFP studies in the context of coverage with evidence development for emerging medical technologies, experts, including Verily’s Caroline Marra, provide a framework for FFP study design and data source selection. The work is published in two parts in Health Affairs Forefront.
We had an incredible week at HLTH USA boldly showcasing our solutions and how we’re turning health data into precision health action. Some highlights: 💫 In partnership with wastewater epidemiologists and treatment facilities, we monitored the wastewater at HLTH and the surrounding Las Vegas area for 8 different pathogens. 💫 Verily leaders spoke about advancing health equity. Understanding a patient’s context - their race, conditions, and socioeconomic background - allows us to treat them as an individual. We shared a new AI-based reinforcement learning approach that can be applied to drive more equitable health outcomes. 💫 We previewed Verily Lightpath,* a chronic care platform that will turn health data into personalized, proactive care to help people with diabetes, obesity and other metabolic conditions live healthier lives. *To be available in 2026
Sarah Thompson, Verily Head of Clinical Operations, Program and Strategy, spoke on a panel at HLTH USA about implementing scalable plans to maximize investment in the digital era of health and shared the following insights: ▶ "In evaluating digital health solutions, it's important to look for improvement of outcomes over time, and to look across a variety of factors, including improved use of medications and reduction in hospital stays." ▶ "As we plan to integrate AI, we need to ensure there is smooth coordination between the member and their care team. We've created a Co-design Council to get feedback from patients on how they want to engage with AI through their care journey."
From insight to action – in our spotlight session at HLTH USA, David Burdick, Verily Head of Product, Care Solutions, shared an AI-based reinforcement learning approach to dynamically allocate resources. Called a restless multi-armed bandit (RMAB) model, Spotify and Netflix use it for random probability scheduling. When applied to healthcare delivery, there is potential for inadvertent inequities across demographic groups. David talked about a new solution from Verily researchers, equitable RMAB (ERMAB), that can be applied to drive more equitable population health outcomes.
Verily monitors the spread of pathogens to help communities prepare for — and prevent — the spread of infectious diseases. We are currently conducting research to measure the concentration of pathogens in wastewater at HLTH USA and the surrounding Las Vegas area. Check out the latest data and sign up to receive our report highlighting the presence and concentration of pathogens following the event.
