Hello I am a student trying to build a medical application that reviews a series of medical images, reports and videos. I am attempting to use googles API, however, the safety settings are prohibitively restrictive, especially for video analytics were it pretty much automatically blocks any video with blood in it (one might imagine this is important for medical applications). Are there any exemptions permitted for medical applications? Who can I get in touch with to work through these issues? I feel like there has to be a wide range of medical applications (especially for the upcoming developer competition) and the support seems lacking. Thanks for your help.

I am also working on a medical application and uploading simulated medical procedure videos. Even with content filtration turned off on each setting, Gemini responds with empty text as if it was blocked. It looks like I was able to find a way around this for whoever may also be in a similar situation.
What I was doing before was uploading a medical video and prompting with text together. This resulted in a Gemini response of nothing.
What I have done to get this working is upload the video first without text, then follow up with text in a new message. This seems to be working now. A bad solution, but a solution nonetheless.
Welcome to the forum. The Gemini servers do not remember previous interactions. Can you be slightly more specific about the content and prompt in the interaction that works?
I’m not too sure what you mean by “The Gemini servers do not remember previous interactions” (I know what this means, but not why you mention it). I can clarify my process for you.

I see, you are using the application Gemini at https://gemini.google.com/app
In this forum the discussion is often about the Gemini API, which is stateless. Thank you for explaining.
Note that under the Gemini API Terms of Service Use Restrictions it states
You may not use the Services in clinical practice, to provide medical advice, or in any manner that is overseen by or requires clearance or approval from a medical device regulatory agency.
