Google Health revamped
October 9th 2010 -
Google has revamped it health website to make it more useful to a wider range of people. When Google started Google Health, it was a way to allow people with chronic conditions, or their careers, to document their medical history, medications, and so on. However, if a person was very proactive about their own health, the system wasn't useful to them.
Google Health now allows users to record any aspects of their medical health that they want to track. As well, there is more health related information available than there was before and the system is more intuitive.
Click on a particular topic – blood pressure, say – and a user will arrive at a detailed page that shows data over time, with flexible controls to view it in different time frames and contexts. There's supplemental information alongside it – both licensed content and search results from Google News, Google Scholar, and more.
