Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, gave the keynote speech at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference in Orlando, on February 28, 2008. The topic? Google’s health initiative called Google Health.
In talking about this initiative, he builds the case for Google’s entry into the personal health record (PHR) space. He describes the dozens of different things people do everyday to improve their own health, from Googling health symptoms, to joining an online support group.
At approximately 10:20 into the video, he mentions the great support groups we have at Psych Central! Wow, I never thought we’d make it into an Eric Schmidt keynote speech…!
The whole speech is about 50 minutes long and if you’re interested in this topic or what Google is going to be doing in health, it’s worth your time.

So at the moment I designed the keyose (www.keyose.com) service, I have a very clear idea: privacy must be the priority number one!
