Google to use patient data to develop healthcare algorithms for hospital chain
If I&#x27;m reading the article correctly, this is allowed by HIPAA already and is already happening (for research purposes and by third party healthcare companies?).<p>I would much rather google handle this data rather than unknown third parties with their own agendas, at least with google, the data comes with privacy risks that are relatively well known and might actually be useful for clinicians due to google&#x27;s expertise on AI&#x2F;pattern classification work which is primarily what medical diagnoses is about now (IANAD so perhaps this is incorrect).
