In that past week Google Health entered into Public Beta. If you are previously unaware of Google Health I will explain.
Google Health is intended to solve the problem of individuals recording important information about there illness, medication and procedures. Google Health allows its users to sharing the information they have record, find Doctors and explorer online health services.
The important and power part about the Google Health service it allows the user to maintain and retain information about their records to share with medical professions as required. Medical records currently which Google hopes to solve is the share of medical information accurately to Doctors during consultation with know previous knowledge of your medical history.
I believe with the correct backing of this new product it will be invaluable providing users the tools to effectively manage the most personal of data and share as required. It may help over come the issue faced by Dr Gregory House, 'Every body lies'.
