Google's parent company Alphabet launches Verily Me, a free Personal Health Record

Verily, the precision health company from Alphabet (Google's parent company), has launched Verily Me, a free consumer health app designed to act as a personal health record and more.

Key features and details include:

Personal Health Record Aggregation: The app securely retrieves and consolidates a user's medical records (including medications, conditions, procedures, immunisations,and test results) from multiple providers and health information exchanges (HIEs) into one cohesive, longitudinal view. It can often integrate data from wearables via Apple HealthKit and Google Health Connect.

Personalised Health Recommendations: Licensed clinicians review the aggregated medical records to provide personalized and preventative health recommendations, helping users identify care gaps.

AI Companion (Violet): The app includes an AI assistant named Violet that can answer personal and private questions about the user's health record, such as "When was my last flu vaccination?" or "Explain my cholesterol trends."

Meal Logging: Users can snap a photo of their meal for real-time feedback and nutrition tips.

Research Participation: Users have the option to consent to participate in Verily's Lifelong Health Study, a real-world research registry.

Availability: Verily Me is a free app available to the general public (currently in the US) and can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Verily Me is a very recent product launch, but its history is rooted in Verily's broader shift toward AI-driven data platforms and consumer-facing health solutions.

Here is a brief history:

Predecessor Context (Verily's Evolution): Verily, formerly Google Life Sciences, was founded in 2015 as a moonshot from Google's "X" division. While its early projects focused on hardware and large-scale studies (like Project Baseline launched in 2017), the company has recently pivoted to prioritize software, AI, and data infrastructure.

Existing Care Program: Verily had been providing virtual care solutions to patients since 2018. This experience, particularly with its Lightpath chronic care management program, laid the groundwork for integrating clinical services with its technology.

Platform Foundation: The Verily Me app was built using Verily's precision health platform, Pre. This platform is designed to transform complex, multimodal datasets for use across AI-enabled healthcare, and it forms the technical backbone for Verily's new solutions.

Official Launch: October 2025: Verily Me was officially unveiled and launched as a free consumer health app on October 17, 2025, at the HLTH USA conference.

Purpose: The launch of Verily Me represents Verily's most direct move into the consumer health market, aiming to address the problem of fragmented medical records and provide personalised, proactive health guidance by combining:
