Quote to Note: Google Health
January 2, 2012
I heard about the termination with extreme prejudice of Google Health a while back. I had pushed it from my mind. I scanned the Slashdot post “Google Health’s Lifeline Runs Out.” Old news, but I skimmed the comments. A quote to note emerged from turing0:
In closing, it’s very funny to note Google suggests Google Health users migrate GH data to the Microsoft Health Vault. Hopefully some Web service other than Health Vault will rise from the ashes of Google Health. The real benefit in terms of Google being a custodian of my health and wellness records via Google Health was that Google as a corporation is considered a trustworthy intermediary by most users and health care professionals. Now I am not so sure; perhaps it’s time to re-claim my email …
Interesting.
