Google ventures into health records biz - CNN.com

Google ventures into health records biz - CNN.com: "SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Google Inc. will begin storing the medical records of a few thousand people as it tests a long-awaited health service that's likely to raise more concerns about the volume of sensitive information entrusted to the Internet search leader.

Google will test a new service that will allow the Internet search leader to store patients' medical records.

The pilot project to be announced Thursday will involve 1,500 to 10,000 patients at the Cleveland Clinic who volunteered to an electronic transfer of their personal health records so they can be retrieved through Google's new service, which won't be open to the general public."

Hmm. Does not sound save, does it?
