This is pretty cool, but the pathway logic where the juiciest part is and it looks like it has been gutted for public release.

How can you know if the fake data is sufficiently similar to real data? I wonder what Google's use case for this is.

This would be super useful once you can set up your own pathways. It will also need FHIR and the ability to generate CCDs (which FHIR is capable of) to more fully represent current health care integration technologies.

Looks like this is related to their Care Studio product: https://health.google/caregivers/care-studio/

Baiting healthcare forcussed devs/startups for acquiring? Analyzing how people are building apps using this data to build their own? Free training data for their next product? Amazon is kinda growing in healthcare and maybe Google doesn't want to be behind.

Well it certainly was built for some future product, but it was probably released as open source solely so an engineer could have "community contributions" on their promo packet.

I don't believe this would count as a community contribution, which is generally I believe about contributions to Google's community.

While I don't think it's a bad career move, and that may have been part of their consideration, I find the trivialization of the work put in by someone here to open source something they thought would be a positive contribution hurtful.
