I have got to say the most useful tool on Google Health has to be the option to click on a disease or illness and immediately know everything about it.

why am i not surprised that google is involved in online healthcare. its only a matter of time that the entire healthcare industry goes completely digital. it does get a bit scary with all your medical information online, then again all your financial information is online too, its just making sure that you are smart about what's online and how to protect your information, take a look that this article on JustAskGemalto.com, it has a lot of good information and tips about securing your medical information online

I would love to learn from Google why they cannot provide opaque storage encrypted with a key they do not hold.
This would make all the privacy issues disappear. It would introduce key management issues, but they are solvable (and will increasingly be simplified).
What is the loss of management, indexability, earnings that stops Google from doing the “right” thing here?

Follow the below URL to see whether Microsoft HealthVault or Google Health attracts more people to their booth.

And no I do not work for Microsoft. I’ve done some research between the two and just found Microsoft HealthVault as the better solution. Plus HealthVault doesn’t (at least seems) to not have security issues unlike what is plaguing Google Health. Also Google Health is not HIPAA compliant I would recommend refraining from using it because of those two issues. I’m going on the assumption that Microsoft HealthVault is HIPAA compliant as I haven’t seen anything that states otherwise although I have not looked that hard.

People don’t realize how much information google has on them: Your daily web search history (when, what, from where), your friend list (erkut, youtube, gmail etc), content of your emails, your phone calls and their content (Google Voice with voice to text, searchable), your buying habits (Google Checkout), your SSN, your credit card info, banking information if you participate in Adsense and adwords, your daily activities (Google Calendar), where you have been at any particular time (thanks to the gps technology in their mobile devices).

And now they know your illnesses, weaknesses, prescriptions.

Now you are searchable, tracable, and transparent.

CVS partnered with Microsoft HealthVault long before Google. I think this post should be edited to account for that.

Dr. Green, you make good points (that I also agree with). Ultimately however, Google, et al exploit people’s privacy for financial gain because people go “uh, okay”. People can store their medical records (and any other information) at HaveProof.com where it is encrypted and kept truly private, but do you think the marketplace will choose this alternative?

Instead of partnering with Google, CVS should try to provide better health services to their customers. How about partnering with 23andMe, facilitating the test, and becoming a health advocate. But why would they do that, right? They’re in the business of selling drugs. I wrote about this idea here: http://www.rodn...gnon.com/?p=151

He asked why does Google think they are qualified. You’re comment made no sense as a response. The equivalent of what you said is similar to me saying I should handle the country’s most private personal information because my motto for years has been, “Selflessly helping other people”.

Google signing CVS for Rx data is far from providing any wholistic medical picture. And any system that relies on the patient to import critical data is destined to fail.

In order for healthcare providers to be able improve care, or reduce cost of providing it, in any meaninful way, a “unified” system will have to provide a comprehensive record which includes data from ALL pharmacies, your primary care doc, specialists, hospital visits, ancillary providers, all insurance companies and dozens of other sources.

“Excuse me Mr. Smith, before we start your triple bypass, have you imported all of your clinical and financial records from your 26 healthcare entities in the appropriate ANSI ASC X12 and HL7 standard formats?”

The problem is that all of that data is stuck in paper charts and archaic proprietary systems across the country.

Yes, I’m skeptical, because I spent 15 years working on “unified online healthcare management systems”.

CVS and Google Health: adding lots of prescription data to PHRs…

Users of Google Health can now import their CVS prescription data into their PHRs. Not the first pharmacy to hook up with Google Health, but perhaps the largest. The more info there is in a PHR, the better; incomplete records……
