More on Google Health from Neil Versel
April 30, 2007
Neil starts off with an imaginative title, “Google then Gargle: American’s Sorry Performance on Personal Health Records could soon change. ” He reports on the slow adoption rate of PHRs but then cites the speculation that Google will soon get in the game. Adam Bosworth is appearing on more national stages talking about his passion for the Health URL (Neil refers us to Medcommons, a Web 2.0 PHR which is already doing this). He goes on to talk about Dossia which will aggregate claims and provider data plus have the ability to allow the patient to enter their own data. This model seems to be the most robust to gather the largest percentage of one’s scatter medical data. Will Google move in and provide a similar tool and beat Dossia and others to rolling out a real product? Could be since Google’s approach to everything being beta.
There is also an interview with Eric Schmidt on more general Google plans in the current issue of Wired magazine.
