Verily Layoffs

About

Alphabet's life sciences unit Verily has laid off an unspecified number of staff and discontinued its long-running medical devices program as part of a strategic refocus. Announced internally on August 26, 2025, these cuts are a continuation of the company's efforts since 2023 to streamline operations, reduce costs, and narrow its focus towards AI and developing infrastructure for other companies. The decision to wind down the devices program, which included projects like a clinical study watch and a retinal camera, directly led to a significant portion of the layoffs. As a subsidiary of Alphabet operating in the healthcare and life sciences industry, Verily is taking these difficult steps to put itself on a faster path to sustained commercial success and eventual independence from its parent company.
