Google Health

25 may 2008--Google Health allows you to store and manage all of your health information in one central place. And it's completely free. All you need to get started is a Google username and password.
Google believes that you own your medical records and should have easy access to them. The way we see it, it's your information; why shouldn't you control it?
Keep your doctors up-to-date
Stop filling out the same paperwork every time you see a new doctor
Avoid getting the same lab tests done over and over again because your doctor cannot get copies of your latest results
Don't lose your medical records because of a move, change in jobs or health insurance
With Google Health, you manage your health information — not your health insurance plan or your employer. You can access your information anywhere, at any time.
It's safe and secure
We believe that your health information belongs to you, and you should decide how much you share and whom you share it with. We will never sell your data. We store your information securely and privately.
You are in control — you choose what you want to share and what you want to keep private.
Features
