Two giants merge: Google Health in partnership with Cleveland Clinic.
An earlier post was made here a month ago regarding the beta testing of Google’s Health and surely, as predicted, a test run would be available after a month or so.
Now, Google has chosen its partner in making the test run possible: the Cleveland Clinic. The said hospital, ranks as one of the best in America according to U.S News and World Report. Cleveland Clinic patients can put their medical profiles on the internet (Google’s database) so that their medical history will be available for search via Google Health.
A certain Pam Dixon of the World Privacy Forum questioned the process since this concerns the privacy of the individuals who will join the test run.
It is but important to note that the putting up of medical profiles on Google Health is on a voluntary basis.
