Project Nightingale, a medical data collection project between Google and health care provider Ascension, will be the subject of an announced federal probe.
Google's massive move into the medical information field known as Project Nightingale may be creating a database of patient information that is not compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and which does not require the consent of patients to release their personal information, according to multiple sources.
"We believe Google's work with Ascension adheres to industry-wide regulations regarding patient data, and comes with strict guidance on data privacy, security, and usage," Shaukat added.
