What You’re Doing Is Rather Desperate

Notes from the life of a bioinformatics researcher

Google Health Live

The much-vaunted Google Health is online.

There’s a good early review at TechCrunch. Expect further coverage from bloggers who cover personalised medicine issues; you know who they are.

Questions that occur to me are: (1) how much personal information do you need to enter for the service to be useful; (2) how much will users be willing to enter? This will be a real test of the degree to which people trust Google with personal information.

  2. Yeah, deepak, but 2 also depends on 1, too. People will keep entering info as long as they’re getting a return on their investment.
