Precise indication

Diabetic retinopathy screening, licensed to local partners.

Regulatory status

Deployed under local partners’ regulatory frameworks (India, Thailand, Australia) rather than a device Google itself markets as CE/FDA cleared in those markets.

Clinical evidence

Vendor-supported

Not the primary source used here.

Independent

Third-party industry report (‘AI Weekly’) citing over one million patients screened.

Real-world deployment

Reported to have passed one million patients screened, via partners in India and Thailand — deployment outside the US/Europe, relevant to global-equity framing.

Interoperability

European status

Editorial verdict

Limits and uncertainties

Regulatory responsibility sits with local licensees, not Google directly — state this precisely.
