My good friend over at FathomSEO, Mike Murray is probably staying very busy these days, considering his client Cleveland Clinic has now teamed up with Google in the launch of Google Health.
From Search Engine Land:
The very long awaited Google Health may be about to launch. The New York Times and CNN have reports this morning that Google and the Cleveland Clinic are announcing a pilot program that reportedly will involve the creation of personal health profiles on Google for anywhere between 1,500 and 10,000 patients. These profiles will include health histories and other personal medical data.
From Venture Beat:
The impending — or so it’s seemed — launch of Google Health has spurred any number of comparisons, invidious and otherwise, to Microsoft’s flashier but ultimately disappointing launch of HealthVault last October. Now that Google has finally announced its first big health project with the Cleveland Clinic, though, it’s far from clear exactly how its platform is going to address nagging privacy issues and the fundamental issue of how much control patients will have over their records. We unpack the Google Health announcement over at VentureBeat Life Sciences.
