Organizing your medical history is extremely important and most people just assume that somewhere there’s a huge organized file with all their information. Unfortunately that’s not the case. Yes there is a ton of information but it isn’t held in any central location. Most medical records reside in the place at which you were treated or a main office located somewhere in another state. If you are involved in a medical emergency … there will be a scurry to obtain your medical records from the many different places you have received treatment. Organizing your medical data with Google will at least give you and your health professionals somewhere to start and then go and verify that data.

One of the main features of Google Health is the ability to important your medical records from different hospitals, treatment centers and pharmacies. And if you’d just like to enter your data by hand you can do so. After data is imported or entered by hand Google specifies whether you or a professional trusted site has entered the data. Google Health will also let you know which of your medications might interact with each other.

If you take a lot of pills Google Health can help you organize that aspect of your life as well with a user friendly reminder and checklist service. Want to know if you’re at risk for a heart attack? Probably not but Google has created a special section for tools just like that to help you get healthy. This tools section will probably be expanded to include tools from third-party application developers.
