One again, Google is back to dominate the social web applications industry with Google Health. Google Health allows you to do wonders with your medical history. It sure does sounds good but it does perform even better. Lets walk through with some brief details. 

Google Health, gives you your right to have your medical profiles and history to be available with you at all times through the web. Though some worry about security breach on your profiles and so. Well worry not as Google promises that your informations are safe, secure and free with them. Do make sure you read the terms and conditions during sign up. 

So what does, Google Health Do ?

  • Organize - All your medical profiles, list of doctors seen and their comments etc can now be all sorted out with ease. It looks very professional as well. Not to forget, its productive. 
  • Seek - You could even find for new doctors and hospitals with the build in Google Maps Systems.
  • Gather - Collect all your medical records and upload them to your Google Health account. Obviously not all soft copy medical records are supported. Certain hospitals such as St.Luke’s Hospitals are supported as they have an online profile for each patients. There are a list of other personal health sites that you could link your account with. If your hospitals are not supported, you could always type it in your self. Other health related items that you could keep a record would be Condition, Medications, Allergies, Procedures, Test results and Immunizations.
  • Stay Up To Date - Keeping your doctors updated with all your history is certainly important and I see a huge potential in this new Google’s service. Besides that, it gives you certain notifications and warnings when you have new medications added to your list regarding allergies etc. It constantly scans your data and alerts you with related health issues. Do always stay informed with new researches and so on with Google Health. 

I would strongly recommend everyone to open up an account with Google Health. There is a huge potential for this service to everyone. Keeping track of your health is the most important thing besides your financial track records. I would love to see a personal financial management web application by Google too. I do believe that’s not too far away. Head on to the Google Health’s Tour for more.
