Google Health Open Platform Is Great — Or Awful

Posted by timothy on from the now-that's-a-dialectic dept.

JackPowers writes "The Google Health APIs enable portable, standardized, open architecture, extensible personal health records, which is nice but boring if they're just used to manage the paperwork of the doctor/patient relationship. But once the data is set free, all kinds of Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 apps are possible. This article looks ahead 10 years at Best Case Scenarios. A follow-up article lists the Worst Case Scenarios."

      Correct. Except, the cage is also on rails.

    Yes, especially as in 10 years time it will probably still be Google Health beta.
