Between Google's habit of handling data carelessly (mining data it shouldn't[1][2], keeping your data when you delete it[3], let others look into your data[4]), as a consumer I can't say I'm sad ; especially when you end up not having a choice, since the decision is made by your healthcare provider - and you might end up in their records without even knowing.
Not that others may necessarily be better, but they also don't have the same existing power.

- codred 5y agoI hope you people realize that Health data handling is a heavily regulated area. If you break the rules you will face penalties. Plus what kind of data expected to be shared? Your blood pressure or allergy reaction to penicillin? The real goal of the project is not to steal and trade your data but to help clinicians find consolidated data about you faster and spend more time to help the patient.
