      Guys, Google can access your health data without your knowledge or consent, but family members can't get medical updates on relatives "because HIPAA" and btw, you don't own your own health record. Happy Monday. We are living in the Upside-down.

      What companies are making this possible by sharing this data with Google?

      How is this legal with HIPAA?

      Because it probably "anonymizes" the data it collects

      I’m suspecting this is confused reporting. Google as a cloud service provider may be providing storage for these medical organizations, but cloud service agreements do not allow them to use that data themselves. Those agreements are super tight and highly regulated.

          Nope. Google is not storing the data. They are analyzing it, per the business relationship section of HIPAA. More in this piece. Also review Project Nightingale.https://www.wsj.com/articles/paging-dr-google-how-the-tech-giant-is-laying-claim-to-health-data-11578719700 …

          HIPAA allows third party access to health data if the third party is considered a business associate. Google has full record access to names, DOB, etc. There is no anonymizing.

          There's also another service google does which is work with doctors to train AI for medical diagnostics. I think they're involved with that kind of research anyways. Were they, then it would be using an entirely different and regulated data set.
