Google Health Online

Google HealthGoogle Health is online after a year and a half since Adam Bosworth announced a health product from Google. Google Health proposes to:
  • Organize your health information all in one place
  • Gather your medical records from doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies
  • Keep your doctors up to date about your health
  • Be more informed about important health issues

According to the Google Health FAQ, "You can store records of current and past medications, allergies, procedures, immunizations, conditions, and test results. You can enter any of this information on your own, or you can import your medical records from a list of Google Health integrated partners, such as hospitals or neighborhood pharmacies."

Google Health has been designed as a PHR (Personal Health Record), but it is also a bit of a different model. "We believe it's not enough to offer a place where you can store, manage, and share your health information. You need to act on your health information to better manage your health needs on a daily basis. This is why we provide a directory of online health services to you. You must elect to sign up with a service and decide what level of personal data you want to share in exchange for the customized services those companies offer", is mentioned on Google Health pages.
