Google is launching a new health service that involves faxing medical information to Google Drive, the company's cloud storage service, according to an article on the CNBC website.
Last year, former Google CEO and chairman said healthcare tech is still in the "stone age." Since them the company has taken a step backward in order to deal with fax machines.
A spokesperson for Google Cloud described a recent fax demo as a "prototype of the possibilities enabled by APIs and an open cloud platform."
"Every hospital, no matter how small, has a fax machine, so it's the safest and easiest way to get the information you need," said Nate Gross, a physician and the co-founder of Doximity, a start-up that came up with a product called DocFax that lets doctors send faxes without a physical fax machine, told CNBC.
