Google's health spinout, Verily, is looking for 10,000 American volunteers to share intimate and sensitive information about their bodies in an attempt to help predict heart disease and cancer, MIT Technology Review reports. Called the Baseline Project, the multi-year study could cost upwards of $100 million.
