Is Google Health On Its Deathbed? Privacy and the Personal Health Record

Ruth Suehle | OpenSource.com | April 13, 2011

If you haven't tried it, or perhaps even heard of it, Google Health is a service for maintaining your own health records, similar to Microsoft's HealthVault offering. You can track things like weight and blood pressure, your sleep patterns, or how you're doing at your resolutions to cut down on caffeine or go to the gym more. It's one place to keep track of immunizations or procedures you've had and test results you've received. You can also share your information with people you designate, whether that's family caregivers or doctors.
