Andy Conrad's vision for what would become Verily began in the Google X lab in Mountain View, California, as a moonshot. Having recently led groundbreaking work in the field of diagnostics as a molecular biologist and Chief Scientist at LabCorp, Andy joined the Google X team with the audacious goal to deliver a “10x change” in healthcare. His vision: to disrupt the episodic, reactive system with a preventive and proactive approach enabled by continuous monitoring and measuring devices. Andy looked at many aspects of healthcare and invested in innovation across the healthcare ecosystem, from device technologies to new approaches in clinical research and care. Andy assembled a dream team of clinicians, researchers, chemists, scientists, biologists, behavioral scientists, engineers and industry leaders in machine learning and data science, believing that it would take a diversely talented team to change healthcare.
