<< Google Health launched a bit over two years ago, and since then we’ve been listening to our users, analyzing feedback and conducting research. We’ve learned a lot from you! You’ve confirmed that having a central place online to store and share medical data with whomever you want is important and a step in the right direction. And we’ve added a number of features based on what you’ve asked for so far. >> |
I love the optional "coffee consumption" and "weight" charts. When I have an internet-enabled coffee cup and weighing scale, I'll sign up. |
Hebbet, I like your title. |

<<...we identified several areas where we could improve Google Health to make it a more useful wellness tool, including:
– Dedicated wellness tracking including pre-built and custom trackers
– Efficient manual data entry as well as automatic data collection through devices
– A customizable summary dashboard of wellness and other health topics
– Goal setting and progress tracking using interactive charts
– Personalized pages for each topic with rich charts, journaling, and related information

I don't understand... Are there more people using Google Health than people who are using Google Wave? Why was Wave killed, while Health continues to live? |

Google Health has some paying commercial customers (hospitals, etc).
[edit: actually I don't know for sure that they pay real money; just that they have a commercial arrangement with Google] |
