Apple has had consumer-facing health software for longer than Google at this point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_(Apple) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_(Apple)
And, since this is still Beta, it's excluded from the Google Cloud Deprecation policy at https://cloud.google.com/terms/deprecation https://cloud.google.com/terms/deprecation. (And even if it was covered, you'd only have one year to migrate off of it -- so I hope you don't have a FDA-certified hardware widget directly talking to Google's APIs).
- eitally 8y agoGoogle Health was a completely unrelated experiment, an online repository aimed at consumers to facilitate storage & sharing of personal medical records. That's not remotely the same as what's going on here.
- dragonwriter 8y agoGoogle Health was a consumer product in the PHR space, not an enterprise infrastructure product. supporting the EHR space. There is a loose descriptive similarity (they both involve “health records”), but substantively they are not at all the same business domain. > And, since this is still Beta, it's excluded from the Google Cloud Deprecation policy Well, sure. > And even if it was covered, you'd only have one year to migrate off of it -- so I hope you don't have a FDA-certified hardware widget directly talking to Google's API Yes, that would be very bad design. And not just because of the deprecation policy.
