Yes, Google's using your healthcare data – and it's not alone
Google is working with one of the largest healthcare systems in the U.S. to collect patient data on millions of Americans in 21 states and across 2,600 hospitals or clinics in order to analyze it and come up with advice for better patient care and cost cutting measures.
The project was reportedly revealed by a whistleblower who said the program, dubbed "Project Nightingale," involved Ascension – the largest Catholic health system in the world – and up to 50 million private medical records from healthcare providers.
