There are mathematical ways you can guaruntee different levels of anonymity though without removing all identifiers. Ex. you can increase age and location buckets until for every unique set of identifiers, you have a good distribution of attributes.

Google will do what they have always done, ignore privacy, train models on full data, apologize later ans delete data when no longer needed. You dont know this, but people at Google are Gangsters and bullies They dont give a hoot about laws in Europe, about privacy or any of that. They think they are right and that everyone else is wrong. See the guy above who said this is for the collective good, even though everyone who knows even a little bit stats and machine learning knows full well that these sort of sensitive data will lead to unimaginable grief for outlier patients. In particular, because Google cares about money, and not the collective good! Everyone should be outraged, it is the only rational reponse.
