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.

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.
