Over the past year there have been dozens of cases where our Government and its institutions have lost extremely sensitive data involving millions of citizens - leaving laptops on trains, dropping memory sticks in pub car parks; you name it, they've lost it. So the idea of Google taking care of business sounds good to me. Can't be worse than what is already happening with our absent minded beaurocrats. I live in the UK.

This is the challenge. If I'm going to have my whole lifetime of medical records (and my family's) at my fingertips, I have to store it somewhere. I'm surprised there is no private key encryption mentioned. Not sure if I want an XML document out on the cloud with that kind of data, but if I could scramble the thing I sure would feel better about it. I think the driving factor is the idea of PCHR trumps just about everything else. Collecting data from all the different healthcare facilities into one UI is the goal. What is the solution to the data storage problem? Maybe people are more comfortable with this now that we’ve all had our credit card numbers out on the Internet for years.

If doctors around the world can look at these patients medical history maybe it can help in curing some of these conditions or least help with treatments and so forth. Patients who have cancer can relate to the other patients in seeing a common connection. But besides that, I can’t think of any other explanation.

There are already so many problems with breeched security on the internet . Seems risky to add personal medical records to the internet world.
