the Company Alphabet, which includes the division of Google Life Sciences (GLS), has hired the former head of the National Institute of mental health, USA Thomas Insel. He headed the Department for 13 years and now will research and support for new Google technologies related to the development of advanced technologies in medicine.

According to Insel, GLS is developing technologies for the early diagnosis of several diseases, reports Forbes. Task specialist will be to find opportunities for application of acquired knowledge for the timely diagnosis of mental disorders. In particular, he mentioned the psychoses, autism, and other disorders.

Previously, Sergey Brin, founder of Google, said that the topic of health is quite complex and tightly regulated. This is a real obstacle to become a priority for Alphabet. The arrival of Thomas Insel probably indicates that a manual search of the Corporation has changed their point of view.
