NHS trusts give Google green light to process confidential patient data

NHS trusts give Google green light to process confidential patient data Sensitive NHS patient records will be shared with Google after an unprecedented deal signed by five healthcare trusts.

Confidential data now to fall under the US tech giant’s watch, covering thousands of NHS patients, could include medical history, diagnoses, treatment dates and ethnic origin.

It is the first agreement of its kind in the medical sector, coming after DeepMind, a London-based artificial intelligence firm, handed control of its healthcare contracts to its Californian parent company Google Health UK. iNews
