The internet search giant Google Inc. has finally launched its long-awaited Google Health (google.com/health), a product that will enable users to upload and store medical records from many sources and get relevant health information.
The announcement, made on Monday, expands upon Google’s initial notice in February, according to which the company had teamed up with the Cleveland Clinic to test the service with about 10,000 patients who already use the hospital’s online health records system.
According to Marissa Mayer, a Google vice president, patients can upload medical records from organizations, enter their own data and create their own profile, search for viable information on health conditions or ask for a second opinion on their diagnosis.
