[vladpuha]

What about privacy? You and only you and Google can access your information. (he missed that part) Google has good technology but it is is becoming one party game with all the right tools and statistics.

[VelaToNorma7]

my new Google Eye does all my seeing for me!

[DrAmiraBadawy]

i think they changed the interface now !!!! the profile looks different now

[RobinLilfelt]

Thay say its safe so many times that I get nervous! I don't think it's safe...

And by Privacy? See this movie: ?v=R7yfV6RzE30

Or this: ?v=enNV3raMDzI

[thebadbrown]

google is going to reach critical mass in 2012. haha, the beginning of the end

[TelemedicinaCalabria]

i love u!!!!

[instantatlas]

I love using Google but there's not a cat in hells chance I would disclose any health information to them, even with all the firewalls ya de da. Calm Down google. I can see it now "Hi I'm Rob SmigerWiger and Im from Google DNA, you know you can safely upload your DNA with your own Google Account..." Damm noooooo!!!1

[marilynrolonrivera]

that's true... I love Google but... you know!

[instantatlas]

Yip - sorry maybe its the british in me, (with our love affair with the old UK NHS) I believe our health information should reside (privately) with our GP not corporate organisations - I may be wrong but it doesn't sit comfortably with me..

[nilbud]

@instantatlas Don't use it then.

[a5stoz]

Man... I'd totally give my DNA to Google. But only because I know they'd modify my DNA to create an army of genius clones that they would enslave and chain to research terminals, therefore making the world a better place. AW YEAH GOOGLE!

[mrjoneboi]

bullshit!!!!! that doesn't mean you won't index my data and use it against me in the future!!!

[mrjoneboi]

creappppy!!!!!!!!!!!1

[chundocho]

@mrjoneboi Yeah!! Look at his face

[ladytribble]

would actually really like to see something just like this that I could use for my pets :D

[Wedler78]

With this Google might be able to expand your life span. WOW!

You got to love these guys :)

[wevenhuis]

Great video. If only the information stays vague as to who these health car providers are. Don't forget that google is still commercial, so privacy and security will always remain an uncertain issue, even if the promise is made convincing in the video. This is an advice from a doctor.

[AlpinePascia]

just wait till chrome for os x is released

[nickel3956]

anyone else think its funny how you don't see Google Chrome being used in the videos from Google?

[fferrero2008]

Yes, I always wanted to know that?!

[brentpieczynski]

Is Google so arrogant that it believes, some people will-not require instructions for using Google-Chrome? That could be the reason for the lack of an educational-video for, Google-Chrome.

[nilbud]

@brentpieczynski Which bit exactly are you having difficulty with?

[brentpieczynski]

@nilbud The newer technologies are difficult for me to implement which is why I've just got to search for the needed details, those details are the difficulty.

[Darkhelboy]

Well.. it's not funny, it's weird.

I am using google earth...

[jhalfaro]

it would be nice if homeopathic medications and supplements were also listed. Just in order to keep track of everything.

[nilbud]

@jhalfaro Just put "Water" or "Sugar pills", homoeopathic stuff is all a scam. 

[jhalfaro]

@nilbud it's really not though. I suffer from arthritis, and going to a conventional doctor i was given Naproxen, at the age of 14. I started developing stomach ulcers from the Naproxen. My doctor gave me the option to have stomach ulcers or suffer through arthritis. My naturopath has worked with me for 4years now. And my arthritis has gotten incredibly better. I no longer am bed ridden for days on end when there are barometric pressure changes.

[LibertyJedi]

No they will share any information that they are court ordered too, and in today's upside down orwellian world that is not that hard to get with all the levels of corruption. Perhaps their anti free expression filter will deny this post :-(

[priboga]

Yeah thanks, I wouldnßt think of that case

[nilbud]

@LibertyJedi You're a retard.

[iamaliberal]

@nilbud I thought I told you racist right-wing fucktard to stop sucking on bush's cock

[al3baidly]

I don't have time to log my health record

[priboga]

Maybe, keeping copies of your test results in a folder under your bed will certanly do the same more securely ;-)

But the drug interaction checking sounds useful

[maysoona99]

I don't see the point of this??

I mean if the medication you are taking can interfere with other medication , shouldn't have your pharmacist or your doctor already known about this?

[priboga]

Not if you are visiting more doctors than one. For istance some specialists. In my country its quite common and if you are like 60 years old, you take so many different drugs... it might be really tricky to keep track on everything

[jorgipogi]

Safari is more reliable as of now and they were probably using a Mac as well. At least, it is not Internet Explorer.

[jorgipogi]

You only have access to your information: We (Google) do too lol (we just keep it hidden)

[zrimec]

super if u are a hypohondriac !!!! (A person who has hypochondriasis, a disorder characterized by a preoccupation with body functions and the interpretation of normal body sensations (such as sweating) or minor abnormalities (such as minor aches and pains) as portending problems of major medical moment. Reassurance by physicians and others only serves to increase the hypochondriac's persistent anxiety about their health)

[AngelGaGaFan]

Its Cool...

[iRichiepoo]

This sounds kind of sketchy...

[marjan15]

I don't know if Google realizes how sensitive informations are that they are dealing with.

[hoyun]

what are the sensitive information your're talking about? You don't give up anything to signup a google account. It's just a place on the internet that the average people can find info about medical stuff. I don't see any risk for doing so.

[dzikiewicz]

so uh,....

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY USING SAFARI AND NOT GOOGLE CHROME!?!?!

[MyDamnFavVids]

Because they're using a Mac and there isn't a version of Chrome for Mac yet

[bizzawizz]

They are on Mac's. They could have used Chromium I guess.

[egzonche2]

That is great service from Google

Roni Zeiger this is a good presentation from you.

[robotx48]

Why are they using Safaria, they built Google Chrome and now they are using Safaria? WTF?

[1clevername]

Google knows that health care is where the money is at and so does the government. With all the baby boomers about to hit the hospitals,pharmacies and old folks homes it's about to explode into massive amounts of money being made. If you wanna make some money in the coming years then get into something to do with health.

[ChineseLearn]

I am wondering how can this video be made with such amazing clearity? This is professional production... I wish I can do the same!

[robotx48]

You do know that Google owns YouTube, right?

[TweetReece]

We don't need to give you that stuff because you already have it.

[TheRealBlackPuma]

Google is literally moving towards all popular branches, aren't they? Are they trying to take over the world or something? x3

[TweetReece]

Hey as long as you don't do anything "bad" your fine, right? Google already knows where we live that's why they don't need the information -.- lolz

[Slug99]

What they are doing is promoting use of the internet by offering free services. By doing this they basically make more money from their adservices since more people click ads and search.

[pranavrules07]

I liked the auto-allergy finder thing.. Many people don't know which new medication might affect their previous medications.. This will help keep things in order :) Great work Google.. Kudos again.. :D

[peppeddu]

Now, the million dollars question:

Why?

I mean, if people keeps a record of their medical history, they are already doing it offline, and in that case there's no need to outsource the privacy of their offline storage.

If they are not doing it, for the principle of Garbage In Garbage Out, they won't do it online either.

And don't tell me about convenience, because if it's important enough to see a doctor, it's also important enough to dig the info from the offline storage.

[ANTIwankerCHRIST]

So you think this is a bad idea, that it is just negative?

[peppeddu]

It's just pointless.

As I've outlined, there is no real advantage in giving up your health record privacy to Google besides for the "cool" factor.

Personally, I prefer not to keep all of my eggs in one basket.

Call it Risk Management if you like it, but if they don't have it, they can't lose it.

How's that for security?

[Slug99]

First of all, they don't know it's your health records. Meaning that you never tell google, who you are. Sure they could track your via your IP, but that would mean requesting the user of millions of IP and even if google asked an ISP, they probably wouldn't give up the information to being with since this would make them look bad.

Secondly, what exactly are they going to do with your health records anyway which some other company couldn't? I don't see any real risk in this.

[peppeddu]

Your IP address and your browser's cookies for Google search, Gmail, YouTube, and all the other Google's services are very well known to Google.

If you've ever used Google Checkout, or signed up for Google AdSense or AdWords they also know your financial info as well.

And if you use Firefox or Google Toolbar in any browser, Google knows about all the sites you visit.

They don't need to contact your ISP, they can provide more info to your ISP than the ISP already has.

...

[peppeddu]

...

And this is not about evilness or whatever, it's just a matter of not keeping all your eggs in one basket.

You don't do it for your money, you shouldn't do it for your data either.

[suavideo]

Great service but Google must be so be carefully about privacy because of these idiot insurance agencies .

[LewisDre4m]

Google is just F**king amazing, seriously the ammount the company gives back to people is outstanding. I feel most people don't know quite how much they offer and how much they do. They should advertise there products more on the home page. I know it could get "annoying" but look at what they are giving back to people.

[mortenlu]

Hell yes!

[DominationCorp]

at least google has an incentive to keep the information private...unlike the government. if google were to have people's info leak out theyd better be ready for some lawsuits. that being said i think this software has some real potential.

[sfpkent]

You sure they can be believe?

[DominationCorp]

i believe them as much as they want to stay in business

[sfpkent]

Do you know that Google did disclose a woman personal information before on a magazine few years back?

[NewtonsStudent]

google is going to know everything about everyone....with access to the computer.

[zeratul575]

google is going to bethe biggest company in the world

period

[chakkeramon]

I Love Google :)

[SlashSarge]

Google is SkyNet .... they taking over the Planet

lol Google is awesome

[gothmusicsukz]

I wouldn't mind living in "Google World"

[priboga]

"Those who would swap freedom and privacy for pleasure and security deserve neither" (something like that was in The Numb3rs, end of season 4)

[izak1992]

Google is the BEST !

[nite4141]

Google and Apple are buddies anyways ;)

[frvfilms]

kind of,

the way that they use a blank white back ground

[nite4141]

If Google continues to innovate at this rate, in my opinion, by year 2025, Google will not only become the King of Cloud Computing, but will also become a one-stop website. Keep up the good work!

[googletubesucks]

hah, sam goody

[Ox485]

Google is awesome they are using safari cause chrome isnt for mac yet

[TiLeNpWneD]

They're using Safari because Chrome is still in Alpha for MAC OS X, what's the big deal anyway?

[dnRoystonDotCom]

Anyone want to place a bet on how long until social functions are added in to it?

[priboga]

When most of seniors from eastern european countries with public health care system is online, I guess. Med stuff are quite common talk topic among them.

[HexFlash]

Since this is on OS X, did you guys ever think that this video was made before Chrome was officially ported over?

[hitman7112]

Someone tell me why they are using safari, this is a new video they should be using Google Chrome. >:(

[sean77408]

Chrome for mac isn't out yet -.-

[ambucias]
