Google and Larry Page's dream: healing human aging

January 06, 2023

When Google CEO Larry Page said at the TED conference in March this year, "If people can share their medical records anonymously online, they can save 100,000 lives." His voice is more hoarse and weak. This rare vocal cord paralysis patient was absent from Google's annual shareholder meeting and two other major conferences in 2012 due to a loss of voice. The vocal cord disease that has plagued Larry Page has always made him a "speaking" CEO, and every word spoken is the result of "economic considerations."

When Google CEO Larry Page said at the TED conference in March this year, "If people can share their medical records anonymously online, they can save 100,000 lives." His voice is more hoarse and weak. This rare vocal cord paralysis patient was absent from Google's annual shareholder meeting and two other major conferences in 2012 due to a loss of voice. The vocal cord disease that has plagued Larry Page has always made him a "speaking" CEO, and every word spoken is the result of "economic considerations."

This seems to make Google's "future company" take great pains to study the field of life and health.

In July of this year, Google's big data prevention disease project Google Baseline Study appeared in people's sights. Google is using its big data calculations to try to find the signs for each disease. Those who lack this biomarker are likely to suffer from a certain disease. For diseases that cannot be diagnosed at an early stage, such as heart disease or cancer, it can be effectively prevented in the future. In September, Google acquired Lift Labs and added it to the life sciences division of Google X. It is reported that Lift Labs specializes in producing a high-tech anti-shake spoon that can facilitate patients with Parkinson's disease and other similar diseases.

In addition, we can see that Google Venture has made very active investments in life and health in recent years:

In 2011, invested in cancer genome-wide sequencing analysis company Foundation medicine (Steve Jobs is the first celebrity to try to use the company's technology);

Invested in the development of Transcriptic in the Virtualization Laboratory in 2012;

Last September, Google announced the establishment of anti-aging research company Calico;

In May of this year, it led the use of big data to serve Flatiron Health in the oncology industry for $130 million.

Of course, life sciences are just one of the many areas in which Google has always been involved in “no business”. At the end of October, Page announced that the company's top management had once again reorganized, and it seems that it is necessary to make the "no business" more thorough. After the adjustment, Senior Vice President Sundar Pichai will replace him in managing almost all major product divisions of Google's search, maps, Google, commerce, research and advertising and infrastructure. If Pichai's job is to consolidate Google's present, Page will spend more time targeting Google's future.

According to The Verge, Larry Page convened a dozen senior vice presidents and more than 100 employees to set up a project called Google 2.0 a year ago to build a blueprint for the future. In addition, Google plans to build a Google Y lab that is part of Google 2.0 and is committed to advanced technology and product development. Larry Page hopes to solve the problem of how airports and even cities work by building Google Y Labs to complete the vision of creating smart city models.

Sergey Brin, another Google co-founder, is currently in charge of the mysterious Google X Lab, "doing things that aren't related to the company's main business."

In the past five years, Google X has been working on some avant-garde projects, such as Google Glass, driverless cars, and hot air balloon wireless networks. According to the latest news from The Guardian, Google is working with Australia's largest telecommunications company, Telstra. Invest in 20 hot air balloons in Queensland for project testing. This is Google's first collaboration with mobile operators) and nanoparticles that can be used to detect tumors. Compared to other companies' research departments, Google X's research does not need to be researched and developed according to market performance, nor does it make the search advertising department a parent, so Google X's ideas are broader, aiming at projects that can change the world in the future.

Anal Swab

Throat Swab refers to a sterilized medical long cotton Swab, dipped in a small amount of secretions from the throat of the person to be tested, and then tested for the virus in the respiratory tract. The detection method is to instruct the patient to open his mouth and make an "ah" sound to fully expose the pharynx, and then use a long cotton swab to wipe the secretions on the pharyngeal and palatine arches and tonsils on both sides. , and seal it for inspection in time. It is best not to use drugs before the test, so as not to affect the test results, the patient may have throat discomfort during the test, which is mostly tolerated. Clinically, throat swabs can be used to detect respiratory syncytial virus, influenza A and B viruses, and novel coronavirus pneumonia. The method is simple to operate, convenient and fast, and can produce results quickly, thereby guiding clinical diagnosis and treatment.
