Nvidia takes a minority stake in French health platform Doctolib
Nvidia is taking a minority stake in Doctolib, a French platform for booking medical appointments.
The US chipmaker will have no seat on Doctolib’s board.
Doctolib says the investment will help it hire staff and develop AI models it controls, rather than relying on major AI companies.
The company plans to speed up work on health assistants for patients and care teams, including tools for administrative and clinical tasks.
It says it will use Nvidia chips, computing power and software to build AI trained on its own models and data.
Doctolib launched a research programme in August using the personal data of 50 million users to explore how AI could improve care pathways.
Assistants for healthcare workers are among the company’s priorities for 2027 and 2028.
Nvidia will take a minority stake in French medical appointment platform Doctolib, its chief executive Jensen Huang announced in Paris on 13 October.
The investment will not give Nvidia a seat on Doctolib’s board, the platform’s chief executive said.
Doctolib plans to use the investment to hire more staff and speed up development of its own artificial intelligence models.
The companies say the partnership will support AI assistants for patients and healthcare workers.
Doctolib said it has personal data from 50 million users and launched a research programme using that data in August.
