Google AI Made Up A Body Part... Proving That Humans Still Matter In Healthcare

The recent Med-Gemini incident, where Google’s healthcare AI mistakenly flagged a non-existent “basilar ganglia” in brain scan analysis, reminds us of a vital truth: even the most advanced AI systems aren’t perfect.

In this case, the term “basilar ganglia” was likely a confusing mix of the real basal ganglia and basilar artery, a striking example of how a two-letter error - or “AI hallucination” - can have real-world consequences.

At Vironix Health, we understand both the promise and the pitfalls of AI in clinical settings. That’s why, while our solutions are powered by cutting-edge AI, enabling faster, more accurate analyses, we also prioritize human verification at every stage.

Our national network of clinical staff diligently reviews AI-generated insights to ensure patient safety and diagnostic precision.

In healthcare, the margin for error is zero. AI is GREAT, but having humans in the loop isn’t just best practice, it’s a necessity.

At Vironix Health: 💙 AI-first, human-validated: We harness AI’s power while reinforcing it with human expertise 💙 Nationwide clinical oversight: Our clinicians span across the country, monitoring outputs and catching errors that AI alone might miss 💙 Committed to transparency and safety: We believe responsible deployment of AI must include robust safeguards (because patient trust is earned, not assumed)
