Google Health

What will they think up next? The latest addition to Google’s plethora of tools and services created to enhance your life in general – Google Health. I honestly wouldn’t have seen this coming.

Like everything Googley, Health is pretty cool. It allows you to add and store your medical records and history online, decide which health service providers can access it and also provides a huge database on health topics – offering insight and advice. It is in effect a virtual portable doctor!

I’ve not used it yet, I’m signing up as I write (well after I’ve wrote), more than anything to see what benefits lay in store for me, and of course just to add another tool to my Googlebox (my name for my Google toolbox, which currently consists of email, analytics, adwords, webmaster, blogger and a few other bits).

What real benefits it will provide, I do not know. But in Google we trust ;)
