Google, IBM Team on Health Records Project
Google Inc., IBM and the Continua Health Alliance last week unveiled jointly developed software designed to stream patient information from a doctor's mobile device to online data stores.
The two tech giants worked with the Beaverton, Ore.-based health care provider to extend the value of Google's Google Health and other online health information offerings, and to ensure that stored patient health records are up-to-date, according to an IBM statement.
"Our partnership with IBM will help both providers and users gain access to their device data in a highly simplified and automated fashion," said Sameer Samat, director for Google Health, in a statement. "IBM has taken an important step in providing software that enables device manufacturers and hospitals to easily upload recorded data into a PHR platform such as Google Health."
