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."

    Yeah - my dad smoked for 45 years and he got cancer. I never smoked a day in my life and I got lung cancer too. Do I get a tax break?

    Web 1.0 was sorely disappointing. I'm waiting for at least Web 3.1 for workgroups before I'm willing to take another look at it.
