Google health inovations and privacy concerns

Not really...it seems like a lot of bunk.
Hospital is still responsible for HIPPA regardless of what Google does with the data.
Hospitals share patient information with lots of groups, though sharing non de-identified data is rare.
Hospitals get hacked as well, so storing info in the cloud poses no more risk than current architecture designs.

Google knew I had heart disease before I did. So did Mark Zuckerberg. Which was posted on Twitter with my test results shown on Instagram and shared by my friends on Whats App
also, during registration, you usually sign away your rights to keep your data private. Usually hidden in all the legal jargon and no one reads it.
These privacy concerns are why I stick to my witch doctor. I'm pretty sure he doesn't store patient information in the cloud.
Time to be worried about privacy concerns were at least five years ago; maybe ten.
There is no privacy now. These companies know everything about us. Most of it was freely offered

I once thought about googling " Gassy Knowls " but I got scared and ran and hide under the sheets .
Don’t worry brother, I just saw on GooglePredict that your upcoming quadruple bypass will be successful [thumb2]:fistbump:.
Unfortunately this is not the case. Healthcare organizations routinely share diagnostic information about you with your health insurance provider even if that information is not related to any claim. This helps the insurance actuaries formulate the correct premiums etc.
Google, Apple, and Amazon have been trying to get more into Healthcare for years. They know who you are, where you have been, who you communicate with, what you purchase, what symptoms you search for etc. And None of that information is covered by HIPAA.
The tech companies can sell this information to whomever they wish, and anyone (insurance companies, employment screening companies, credit bureaus) can purchase the data.
Google can acquire "anonymized" data from a Healthcare provider and pin it to you in a few hours.
All of the large healthcare providers in KY are already using Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft Azure, or some other cloud based platforms.
As someone who consults for these companies, I can tell you they mostly don't know how to make heads or tails out of it, and absolutely don't care about the specific individual.
That may be. But they have the info. So there is very little these companies don't know about a person.
The data mining going on in these industries is just incredible. They may not yet be able to fully harnass what they have. But they aren't far off. Which is why Google's quantum computing breakthrough was so huge
@WayneDougan our worlds might overlap a fair bit more than I anticipated. You okay if I direct message you about something?
