GMR (Google Medical Record)?

Published February 22, 2008 2:43 PM by Stephen Cornell

Google is poised to test a medical record storage service. Cleveland Clinic patients will be involved in the test.

The pilot project announced yesterday will involve 1,500 to 10,000 patients at the Cleveland Clinic who agreed to an electronic transfer of their personal health records so they can be retrieved through Google's service, which will not be open to the general public.

Each health profile, including information about prescriptions, allergies and medical histories, will be protected by a password.

Google views its expansion into health-records management as a logical extension of its search engine business, which already processes millions of requests from people trying to find about more information about injuries, illnesses or treatments.
