-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Healthcare data is among the most sensitive data there is. Sending it to a cloud AI service is often not an option because of privacy requirements, regulatory compliance, or both.

In this tutorial, you'll build a healthcare AI assistant that runs entirely on your own machine using three open-source tools:

• MedGemma, Google's open medical AI model for understanding medical text and images

• Ollama, the easiest way to download and run AI models locally

• Open WebUI, a ChatGPT-style web interface for interacting with local models

By the end, you'll be able to chat with a medically tuned AI model, upload medical images such as chest X-rays for analysis, and do it all locally, without sending your data to the cloud.

Important disclaimer before we start: MedGemma is a developer model, not a medical device. Its outputs are not intended to directly inform clinical diagnosis, patient management, or treatment decisions.

Everything you build in this tutorial is for learning, prototyping, and research. Always consult qualified healthcare professionals for real medical questions.

• Troubleshooting Guide

• Error: registry.ollama.ai/library/medgemma:latest does not support tools

• Open WebUI shows no models in the dropdown

• ollama pull medgemma says model not found

• Responses are extremely slow

• Image upload doesn't work or the model ignores the image

• Port 3000 is already in use

• "Out of memory" errors when loading the 27B model

• Conclusion

Who is This Tutorial For?

This tutorial is ideal if you're:

• learning healthcare AI

• building medical RAG systems

• experimenting with radiology assistants

• developing medical education tools

• researching multimodal models

What is MedGemma?

MedGemma is a collection of open models from Google, built on the Gemma 3 architecture and specifically trained for medical text and image comprehension. Think of it as Gemma after four years of medical school and a radiology residency.

Why MedGemma?

Unlike general-purpose models such as Llama or Mistral, MedGemma is designed specifically for healthcare applications.

• Medical image understanding: Its multimodal models are trained on de-identified medical images, including chest X-rays, dermatology, ophthalmology, and pathology images.

• Medical language expertise: It has been trained on medical literature and clinical question-answer datasets, enabling it to better understand medical terminology and radiology reports.

• Multiple model sizes: MedGemma is available in 4B and 27B variants, both supporting text and image inputs with a 128K context window.

• Open weights: You can download, run, fine-tune, and build applications with the model locally under the Health AI Developer Foundation's terms of use.

MedGemma is intended as a foundation model for developers building healthcare applications, medical education tools, research assistants, report summarizers, and other AI-powered medical workflow
