I am quite sure that this will not be permitted when Bonker Boris sells the NHS off to the Americans

LOL just another stockhausen thread
Private companies are sharing personal information about people like it's a commodity and most of you agreed to it in those T&C's you never bothered to read, so suck it up... the government is too busy failing to carry out Brexit to protect people from corporate overreach. Likewise, in the US you've got a bunch unhinged people trying to throw the democratically elected president out of office with whatever conspiracy theory they can make stick via the corporate media. Russia Russia Russia should be corporation corporation corporation.

I thought this was common knowledge. As soon as you sign up to Gmail, you become one with Google.

Currently peoples Medical history is spread across a few platforms making slow and difficult to view everything needed, so what Google has been requested to do by Ascension is combine all those different systems into a single massive database to make it easier and quicker to access peoples full medical history. Only because it's Google, who have a terrible history over Personal History Privacy stuff, instead of being seen as a good idea which could help people get better, faster care, it's viewed (rightly IMHO) with a lot of suspicion!
It's a tricky as China is making progress now in medical research and one of the reasons why is that they have full access to all their citizens data, while the EU is tightly regulated and the US sits in the middle. The US has historically been at the top of the chain for medical research / pharmaceuticals and if China threatens that then maybe they are prepared to forfeit some "freedoms" to stay there.

I have access to around 25 medical records programs and that's just in one Trust and virtually every Trust has different programs.
Good luck with combining them.

Presumably this is why they've outsourced the problem to Google.

My understanding is that it is two-fold, 1st for Google to create a single DB and then 2nd for them to leverage their AI to compile info from that single DB into helping doctors make quicker diagnosis. All of which sound nice and beneficial, even when Google are renowned for their atrocious Privacy failures.
