Should Google have its hands on NHS patient data? Three weeks ago. New Scientist revealed that the tech gianfs Al company DeepMind has access to the identifiable medical information of millions of UK patients through a data-sharing agreement with the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. Now, a New Scientist investigation has found that Google DeepMind deployed a medical app called Streams to monitor kidney conditions without first contacting the relevant regulatory authority. Our investigation raises questions about whether the ethical approval that covers this kind of data transfer should have been obtained, and about the basis under which Royal Free is sharing data with Google DeepMind.
