Olive Diagnostics, an IoMT MedTech startup that uses AI for 100% passive urine analysis, has announced it has joined the Google for Startups Growth Academy. The program is designed to help promising startups accelerate their growth using the best of Google products and services while being able to access global best practices and connect with product experts, fellow founders, and potential investors through Google’s startup community.
Olive Diagnostics are the pioneers of the Olive KG, the world's first hands-free, non-invasive, AI-based optical device for 100% passive and seamless urinalysis, which mounts on any toilet. The unit performs high-quality analysis of important parameters in the patient's urine in each urination without user intervention. In September last year, Olive Diagnostics announced that it received the EU CE Marking to use the Olive KG as a medical device, with orders from two European organizations soon following.
Olive Diagnostics joined the Growth Academy: Health program cohort on January 16, with the initiative concluding at the end of this month. The program connects Israeli health startups to Google’s products, people, and best practices to support them in their product market fit and connect them to relevant stakeholders in their target market. Olive Diagnostics has joined other selected startups to have the exclusive opportunity to hear from and meet top leadership from Alphabet’s health mentors across Google Health, Fitbit, and Verily.
Google for Startups Growth is on a mission to support later stage thriving, diverse, and inclusive startup communities around the world. As a participant in the program, Olive Diagnostics receives access to insights on brand communication strategy, product, and UX development, Google Ads optimization, and tailored one-on-one sessions with Google health experts.
Yuval Passov, Head of Google for Startups Israel, stated: “Our team at Google for Startups Israel is proud to welcome Olive Diagnostics on board to our Growth Academy - Health program, together with eight other ground-breaking health startups. Olive’s AI-powered device allows early detection of various diseases, allowing their users around the world to prevent medical issues before they even suspect that there is a problem. Olive’s participation is a great example of our support for startups that are solving the world’s important health challenges with agility, innovative technology, and determination. We can't wait to see the positive impact they will have on the health and well-being of people everywhere and look forward to seeing their progress during the ongoing cohort.”
