Hospital records.

Doctor's diagnoses.

Names. Dates of Birth.

Google is secretly amassing all of this data on millions of Americans.

A @wsj bombshell: Google is collecting and analyzing health records from tens of millions of Americans in 21 states through an agreement with the country's second-largest healthcare system, the story says. Patients and doctors haven't been informed. https://t.co/zR9v56JA2Y

Just revealed: #Google is secretly collecting health data on millions of Americans from hospitals nationwide without patients or doctors knowing - WITH patient names - including, maybe, YOURS. You can't make this sh*t up. #BeAfraid https://t.co/Qho9V9ccVq

Google has secretly mined the health records of tens of millions of Americans to drive up costs to patients. Blatant disregard for privacy, public well-being, & basic norms is now core to Google’s business model. This abuse is beyond shameful. https://t.co/BO41AHyfDa

The best part about "Project Nightingale" is that it sounds less Orwellian than "Project massive invasion of privacy and we totally won't do ANYTHING else with the data, trust us we promise" - otherwise it's just damn terrifying... https://t.co/k0ifMqU9dJ

No no no no no no FUCKING NO!!!!! Do you people not realize how dangerous and disturbing this is?! Not to mention, I'm pretty sure it's a HIPPA violation because the "loophole" they are using is absolute bullshit, fuck you @Google https://t.co/5HXBOK6ql0

(1) This is scary. HIPAA wasn't written with privacy protection as its main goal, it's a lot more permissive than people realize.

(2) It's noteworthy that the WSJ, normally a business-friendly publication, is running a story like this.

This is why (a) we need a federal privacy law and (b) @google can’t be trusted and (c) neither can some giant hospital networks. Note that patients’ were in the dark and consent wasn’t obtained. https://t.co/b78Os0S1sK

I'm so torn on this- all for "improving outcomes, reducing costs, and saving lives." and scale is needed, and consent at scale not feasible, and yet it feels... icky.

This is a very big deal.

Good follow-up on yesterday's WSJ story on Ascension's deal with Google. As I suspected, this looks like fairly standard, if very large, health IT cloud transformation deal. https://t.co/sa8E5M2BPd

It doesn’t have to be de-identified if this is a BA arrangement. Not sure Google could do the scope of work without PHI. At any rate, I think the reports on this have been conflicting - CNBC’s seems to have the most detail and strikes me as more accurate. https://t.co/BySPrktyJE
