I wonder why this is coming out of Google and not Verily.

  There is a whole division within Research called Google Health led by David Feinberg (https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-feinberg-4b5b76/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-feinberg-4b5b76/) which works on these sorts of problems. It's sort of situated between Cloud and Research, as many of the problems they want to solve are... well, research problems that need large real-world datasets to solve. Verily has its own things it wants to focus on, and I don't think large EHR analytics projects are one of them. Their ambitions are probably budget limited now (IE, they have to be selective about which projects to take on) while Google Research and Cloud have a lot of funding to build products like this.

    Ah! That’s good info, thank you. I applied for a job at Verily a while back out of a desire to pivot out of my current industry. Once I got up close to it though I had a little trouble sussing out how they would operate separate from Google, which I think is going to have to be the case eventually. Stuff like this just makes it even harder to see. (edit: I wonder if it has anything to do with patents/ip) Everyone I actually talked to was great though and I wish then the best.
