Google penetrated the body

Yesterday, Google announced the expansion of its Google Health service, which indexes medical records and other medical information from users. So, from now on, Google Health will be able to automatically receive information from karyostimulyatorov, pressure sensors, blood sugar sensors and other devices embedded in the patient's body. The information will directly go to the database of the search giant (according to the Google Health license agreement, according to this information contextual advertising can even be shown, although Google itself promises that it will not allow this).

A unique technology developed with the help of IBM. It actually takes the patient health monitoring industry to a new level. Now, a relative, for example, can easily check in Google the current level of sugar in the blood and the pressure of his elderly grandfather. Similarly, a doctor can monitor the condition of his patients.

IBM has been working on creating such a project for a long time: pilot projects based on IBM Websphere have been successfully implemented in Denmark and Canada. The US administration is going to allocate a huge grant of $ 20 billion to create a nationwide electronic database of medical records in the United States.
