Google is ready to test out it’s Health portal with the Cleveland Clinic, according to CNN. The pilot is said to involve 1,500 to 10,000 patients who have volunteered to make their health records available through Google’s service. The Clinic already stores patients’ medical records online through a proprietary system called MyCharts, so the transfer is supposed to be pretty seamless. There are many concerns about the new service, including the fact that the stored medical records aren’t protected by HIPAA.
A screenshot from Google Blogoscoped shows what the interface could look like:
