Google will collect all the patients at

Google has announced the launch of a new project - Google Health. Currently, service is under testing, the Associated Press.

The pilot project will include patient data Cleveland hospital, which already has a system of medical cards online customers MyChart.

... From now on, the data of patients of this institution will be stored on the servers of Internet giant. The establishment of the city of Cleveland has agreed to a joint experiment with the corporation in order to ' create a more skilled and efficient national health system '. Now the clinic, patients will have access to their data even if you no longer use its services. Health profiles will include information about the history of diseases, allergies and immunizations done.

It is assumed that the project in the future will be able to make life easier for both patients and hospital personnel, because it will store and process information online. Naturally, such confidential information, as well as other Google services such as e-mail will only be available with the introduction of the password.

Google Health Service to make this year, but company representatives are not reported when specific end testing.

Recall that the plans for the establishment of such a project, the company appeared long ago, back in 2006. It is true, then all the details were kept secret and not announced exactly when service will be launched.

I remember the story of the disappearance of personal data 25 million Britons took place in November last year. The data, which included a unique number of certificates of insurance, date and place of birth, full address and details of bank accounts have been lost in transit on the disks from the tax office in the National Audit Office. The accident caused a serious public dissonance, and the British even had to postpone indefinitely the global system of release of ContactPoint, which was to include information about children. It is easy to imagine what the consequences might occur if the system is hacked and Google Health will leak information, because data on the diseases of people - it is sometimes even more serious than the information for personal mailboxes.
