Nvidia is acquiring a minority stake in the French medical platform Doctolib to support the development of in-house AI models for healthcare. The partnership aims to improve administrative efficiency and patient-doctor interactions while maintaining data sovereignty.
Why it matters
This investment highlights Nvidia's strategy to expand its AI infrastructure footprint into the European healthcare sector.
AI chip giant Nvidia will take a minority stake in French medical website Doctolib that plans to use the technology to improve health care, its chief executive Jensen Huang said Tuesday.
Doctolib is a private website that allows patients to book appointments with doctors, but has also begun to allow patients to store medical information to more easily share their records.
In August it launched a research programme using artificial intelligence to study the data of its 50 million users to improve navigation of the healthcare system.
The amount of the planned investment was not disclosed, but Huang said at a press conference in Paris that Nvidia invested at least $8 billion in Europe last year.
