Re: "no opt-out for patients who do not wish to share their data."
I have to question the legality of this.
Here in the states, it would be a direct violation of HIPPA.
If anyone knows of Google doing this or anyone doing this without the direct consent of any and all patients involved... its a lawsuit.
The combination of this data with any other data set that further violates or erodes the protections granted by HIPPA or any other privacy statute would also be an actionable offense.
