Google for Startups has announced 24 startups selected for the 2024 cohort of the Growth Academy: AI for Health program.
The program is designed to support high-potential startups across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) that are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionise healthcare and medical research.
Among the selected startups are Kenya’s Thalia Psychotherapy and TibuHealth. Thalia Psychotherapy's AI-powered chatbot provides initial assessments and therapy sessions, increasing access to mental health support in a region with a critical shortage of mental health professionals.
TibuHealth, on the other hand, delivers affordable outpatient services via “minute clinics” in partner pharmacies in high-density neighbourhoods.
