I hope you people realize that Health data handling is a heavily regulated area. If you break the rules you will face penalties. Plus what kind of data expected to be shared? Your blood pressure or allergy reaction to penicillin? The real goal of the project is not to steal and trade your data but to help clinicians find consolidated data about you faster and spend more time to help the patient.
Major part of Google Health team came from Deep Mind. We have a lot of doctors and people used to work for NHS. Our goal to help doctors, nurses in their work, save patients lives and revolutionise the industry. We are complient with privicy regulations and see huge potential in what we do. Majority of negative comments are driven by fear of Google selling data for targeted adds but in all our agreements with trust we clearly state our goals and practices. I'd rather people concentrate on positive side and huge potentials in front of us instead of FUD.
