That's what pharmaceutical or medical ventures usually do, so that seems the sensible way to go.
Anyway this is probably not decided yet because it is very early, but Google would surely go the sane and rational way. Alphabet is already quite used to medical projects through Deepmind, and they do not breach accepted good practice guidelines.
- cwhiz 6y agoWearable data is not covered by existing health laws.
- henearkr 6y agoYeah but the point is that Google knows better than merely conform to the Law, especially in this era of irresponsible governments. They can and often do more responsible things than just what is required. It is not true for every industry player, here again the corporate culture has its role, so yes a good set of laws would do a great good. Then again, that only comes from a responsible government/politics.
