I'm glad someone still has the time for this stuff.</p><p>While I don't share your antipathy toward government regulation -- it's far more accountable than most voluntary industry "guidelines," for one thing -- I agree that PHR vendors, and much of Health 2.0 in general, should probably be looking for more formal ways to bind themselves to privacy pledges. I can't imagine anyone being particularly reassured by Google TOS unless they're already on Medicare and thus beyond the reach of medical underwriters.</p><p>Anyway, I suspect this sort of thing is going to face a long, slow road to general adoption for a variety of reasons I laid out here: <a href="http://industry.bnet.com/healthcare/2008/05/21/seven-reasons-google-health-is-overblown/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://industry.bnet.com/healthcare/2008/05/21/seven-reasons-google-health-is-overblown/">http://industry.bnet.com/he...</a>.</p>David HamiltonWed, 21 May 2008 13:47:13 -0000http://mndoci.com/2008/05/19/your-personal-health-google-health-is-live/#comment-498049<p>Well not quite yet, but it seems somewhat intuitive that it would happen, doesn't it.</p><p>Quite frankly it's way too early to do that. Most physicians wouldn't know the answers either.</p><p>As for the last issue, that's an important one. IMO patients should own their medical records, but the risk there is they might not share everything with their physicians; a dangerous place to be</p>mndociTue, 20 May 2008 14:54:21 -0000http://mndoci.com/2008/05/19/your-personal-health-google-health-is-live/#comment-497229<p>So, does it allow you to upload your 23andMe results, and integrate them with your "phenotype"?</p><p>I wish deCODEme would establish a similar phenotype-service. :)</p><p>I think, as of now, the problem is that many physicians do not give patients copies of their medical records!!!</p>dsTue, 20 May 2008 12:57:27 -0000http://mndoci.com/2008/05/19/your-personal-health-google-health-is-live/#comment-494547<p>Not really. In almost every case, I trust private enterprise to do its job and government not to. And health care systems usually have terrible IT.</p>mndociTue, 20 May 2008 00:22:19 -0000http://mndoci.com/2008/05/19/your-personal-health-google-health-is-live/#comment-494490<p>Daring, you are.....<br>-Steve<br><a href="http://www.helixhealth.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="www.helixhealth.org">www.helixhealth.org</a></p>Steven Murphy MDMon, 19 May 2008 23:58:51 -0000
