Features of Google Health - [ Google Health Overview ]

Google Health allows you to store and manage all of your health information in one central place. And it's completely free. All you need to get started is a Google username and password.

Google believes that you own your medical records and should have easy access to them. The way we see it, it's your information; why shouldn't you control it?

  • Keep your doctors up-to-date
  • Stop filling out the same paperwork every time you see a new doctor
  • Avoid getting the same lab tests done over and over again because your doctor cannot get copies of your latest results
  • Don't lose your medical records because of a move, change in jobs or health insurance
  • Share your health information securely with a family member, caregiver, or doctor

With Google Health, you manage your health information, and you can access it anywhere, at any time.

It's safe and secure

We believe that your health information belongs to you, and you should decide how much you share and whom you share it with. We will never sell your data. We store your information securely and privately. Check out our privacy policy to learn more.

You are in control — you choose what you want to share and what you want to keep private.

Share your health records

Help better coordinate your care by sharing your health records with individuals in your care network - family members, friends and doctors. You can stop sharing at any time and will always be able to see who has access to your information. You can also print a wallet-sized version of your health profile to share with your doctor or family members in person.
