They are collecting our medical records. I know this personally because an exgirlfriend of mine is a lawyer at Google and told me the same.

This is too vague to even discuss.
That’s been going on for a very long time. Way before they even acquired Fitbit for such info.
Bold of you to assume “we” have electronic patient records here in Germany, when they just introduced the e-doctors certificate and e-prescriptions a few months ago and it’s already not working as intended.
So long as they’re totally de-identified (not linkable to people), this is a good thing. Image a GPT that can diagnose you 10x as accurately as a human and 1000x faster. This can revolutionize medicine.
Generally, data science is evil and so is Google, but this needs to be done.
Dismounting soap box now.
IBM did it first. It wasn’t a secret. There was a Watson Health group dedicated to training ML models on medical records from large insurers and hospital networks. Among other things, the game plan was to have the system provide oversight for the notes of physicians and other medical practitioners - to spot poor quality/repetitive notes and alert the practitioner and/or their boss to the risk of malpractice/inability to bill for the encounter.
