Google Health will let you share your medical history
Google Health beta is already there since the mid of last year, and now they added a significant feature where you can share your medical history with your friends and family.
According to the Techcrunch, “The general idea behind the feature is that oftentimes during emergencies family members may not know the details of your medical history, like medical allergies. Such information can be lifesaving, but sharing extremely personal medical information is not something that should be taken lightly. Google is taking lengthy measures to ensure the security of the data, associating invite links to specific Email addresses and allowing users to track who has viewed their records. All shared records are also read-only.”
You can also take a wallet sized print-out of your medical information and carry that with you. The site is also launching a new graphing feature, allowing users to visualize the progress of health-related metrics.
The idea behind the Google’s venture is that you can organize your health information on a single place, keep your closer ones up to date about your health issues, and be informed about them.
