Good news! If you make over $2.7k per month, you're eligible for Portugal's new Digital Nomad visa. Remote workers can opt for a temporary one-year stay or a five-year residency permit, with both options including visa-free Schengen travel. Someone remind me again why I still live in SF?

Wait... They shipped what!?

Google Cloud launched a Medical Imaging Suite for the healthcare industry.

Details: The new offering applies Google's AI tools and servers in a medical imaging context. Highlights include:

• Imaging: Using AI to scan images and provide diagnoses

• Annotation: Automating the task of labeling medical images

• Data: BigQuery and Looker used to manage image data

Why it matters: Image data accounts for 90% of all healthcare data. In the past, Google stirred controversy by getting personal data from health systems. Why pay for data when you can make bank by selling software that gives you access to even more data?

Separately, by pairing advanced imaging capabilities with table-stakes analytics and hosting services, Google's well-positioned to get its foot in the door before expanding by playing the "interoperability" card.
