They’re biting off a lot. They’ll roll out everything except the medical records download. Doing the last-mile integration into medical establishments is a hairy problem, from a technical perspective, a legal/HIPAA perspective, and from usability and process perspective. The consumer value proposition of having my health information online is unclear. It’s not saving me money, it’s not information I need to access frequently, and the privacy risk is a big deterrent.

Google wants to try health. Maybe we should hear what our doctor would says.

Google has no idea what’s ahead. Changing consumer behavior around health is perhaps the hardest challenge on the planet….add the complexity of government bureaucracy and you might as well thrown your money down the toilet now.

EMR and personal medical records are interesting issues…but certainly not the most pressing issues in healthcare. Perceived value proposition is not high…so there is little incentive to act.

Additionally, all the blather about US Healthcare being broken is completely without merit. Sure there are issues, including inefficiencies and resulting costs, but ask anyone with some education, and who understands other markets, beyond what Michael Moore feeds them, “where would you rather get treatment…the US or Canada, UK etc.?”

Wait for MedGoline to be launched. Not really doing what Google is doing but a true medical social segment addressed.

@15 Goog answers wasn’t a flop (it will reappear)

- This isn’t something they are trying to do by hand! so if its done with computers that were programmed by Google employees - it will get done faster and better than anyone else.

- They wanted to organize the worlds information - They meant it

Google seems to be under the assumption that our doctors and chemists are savvy and organized enough to participate in this sort of thing.

I agree with the other comments, too, that Google is trying too hard to be in everything at once. There are services that Google provides which I could not live without (e.g., Gmail, Reader, Maps), but then others don’t even cross my mind (e.g., Orkut, Notebook, Finance). At some point, Google is going to lose money from making all these needless services.

Google has a decent database of everything and seems that it wants to use everything it has. I am really curious to know how it will be and what else functions it will have?

Remember that highest bid for ad words is “Mesothelomia”, a rare cancer. Health is a rentable buisness for Google. Now they’ll be able to prevent more fraudulant clicks : Why are you looking for a cure if you do not have a cancer? The same certainly go for aids… Maybe the price of the click will be higher if you’re really sick? “The misfortune of one is the happiness of others”.

“* Share selected information with family or caregivers”
I can’t wait for the next GReader mistake when you’ll unfortunately anounce to your familly, boss and friends that you have aids…

And we should trust a “beta” service ?!

Already sick of it!

Esperaré por ella. All the tools of Google are instructive and functional, therefore I think that this will not be the exception. I will hope it.

I don’t know if this concept is just ridiculous or some sort of “beginning of the end”.

Fcuk Google for wanting to dominate everybody.

I agree that Google being able to upload data from doctors and pharmacies is just unreasonable. No incentives for doctors to care.

If Google implements support for CCR, then many of the electronic medical record companies out there have already implemented that standard. Otherwise, my guess is that Google can upload from a handful of doctors and pharmacies in the Valley. Maybe it’s just a Google Health for employees. Then, they can mine their employees health data to make decisions.
