"Similarly, if you believe Google's scanner to be accurate and it fails to detect the formation of cancer, what then?"
The same as a CT scan that is a false negative?
" If you get beyond the beneficial stages of early detection of this disease because your Google scanner tells you you're fine, how does that play out and who pays for it?"
It's no different than it is now, where you got a CT scan, it said you were fine, and you weren't?
As for who pays for it, this is not a valid tort (medical malpractice is about accepted general standards of the industry. If the scanner meets those, it would not be negligence/malpractice no matter what it says)
"What if the device is compromised and someone can essentially have what they like reported to you?"
Uh, you realize plenty of these scans are remotely read already, right?
People can already report what they like, without any compromise.
Even ignoring that, the hospital machines/storage/etc are all compromisable too. Probably even easier to compromise than something built for end users.
