A recent news report goes :
Extract :
Ø
Google secretly gathered millions of patient records across 21 states on behalf of a health care
provider
Ø
Neither the
provider’s doctors nor patients were made aware of the effort
Ø
Data amassed in
the program includes “lab results, doctor diagnoses and hospitalization records, among other categories, and amounts to a complete health history, complete
with patient names and dates of birth,”
Ø According to the WSJ, Google is using
data from the system to
design software that tailors individual patient care using “advanced artificial
intelligence and machine learning.”
Ø
Ascension health
providers could use a tool called Patient Search to pull up individual patient pages
Ø
“The page
includes complete patient
information as well as notes
about patient medical issues, test results and medications, including
information from scanned documents.”
====================================================
Google needs to be secretive because it is a private
company and most likely to use the data for developing search software which it can sell / lease , to millions of healthcare providers ( including individual
practicing doctors ), for a fat profit
But , when it comes to Government of India, there is neither any
need to be secretive , nor any need to be apologetic , about collecting such
exhaustive data of 1.3 billion citizens
Nor any need to make money by making available
such ANONYMIZED health data to healthcare providers
And , not only data but also PREDICTIVE analysis for
treating individual patients and for preventive measures for groups of citizens
To know how – and why – India Government must
undertake such a project, read :

Dear Dr
HarshVardhanji,
We, the people of India, need a technology-based system
for assuring that we enjoy, cheap and timely, life-long healthcare to remain productive
Please , ignore the critics and tell them :
“ Just as our Constitution confers upon you,
certain RIGHTS, it also demands of you certain OBLIGATIONS to share your personal health data, in the larger interests of all of its
Citizens “
