Google Health – Singapore Version

Hmmm.. I was just wondering if there is any opportunity in this.  It seems that Singapore does have its own version of Google Health:

This looks like a pretty new protocol?  Wondering if private clinics might need some software to link to the patients’ health record.  Also how will it work?  Will it require the patient to log in at the clinic? 

Surely the clinic cannot access the patient health record just through his NRIC number without validation on the patient side.  That will be a gross invasion of privacy.

Hmmm… must drop KKT a tinkle on this…
