Health Company Gains $300 M From Investors To Scale AI
Verily, a subsidiary of Google’s partner company Alphabet, has secured $300 million from investors to scale its AI tech strategy. Alphabet is still an investor, in addition to UCHealth, and the University of Colorado.
A Note From Verily’s CEO Stephen Gillet
“To mark this new chapter, we are officially moving forward as Verily Health, with a focus on accelerating our AI roadmap, including our health data platform, Verily Pre.
Pre unifies siloed, complex and unstructured health data, enabling organizations across the healthcare ecosystem to transform their data into actionable intelligence. This transformation can speed vital drug development and deliver the next generation of care that is more personal, predictive, and precise, improving quality of life, reducing clinician burden and closing care gaps.”
In a blog post, Stephen Gilletsaid that the company is accelerating its AIroadmap—including Violet, its AI companion available through Verily Me —and expanding Verily Pre, the precision health platform that serves as the data and technical foundation for all Verily solutions today.
About Verily Me
Not all AI health apps are the same. Here's what Verily Me has to offer.
Licensed healthcare providers review your health records and give you personalized recommendations, so you have clear next steps. Then, ask your AI companion to help you understand your records, results, and recommendations for healthy meals.
This appears to be a place where smart technology works with, but doesn’t replace the human behind important medical decisions, but as an additional, vetted resource.
“We aren't just a tech company; we’re a team of data scientists, clinicians, and researchers, and many other critical functions that come together as One Verily and believe healthcare should be as precise as it is personal,” Gillett adds.
Verily Was Sued For Data Breaches
In 2025, Ryan Sloan, a former chief commercial officer, filed a lawsuit against Verily. He alleged that the personally identifiable health information of more than 25,000 patients was misused. He also claimed that the company failed to report the HIPAA breaches to the patients, as required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Sloan claims he was fired in retaliation for coming forward with his allegations. This was ignored in the media until CNBC reported on the matter
The outcome of the lawsuit is pending.
