Google Health Rocks - Go digital

September 19th, 2009 | by geo |

I finally got around to loading all of my medical records into google health. It’s so easy and I recommend that everybody do it. Your data is 100% secure and only you can grant access to share it with doctors, insurance providers..and anyone else.

What I really like is that it keeps track of everything for you. Medical contacts, Insurance providers/plans, medications, allergies, procedures, immunizations and anything custom you need to add. If your insurance provider, doctor, and pharmacy are on electronic record systems they pull and push data to and from your profile to keep it up to date automatically, otherwise you can just input new data manually, which is also really easy.

Charts and graphs will be coming soon so that you can keep track of all test results (i.e. cholesterol, heart rate, blood preassure etc..) and graph it over time..really cool stuff.

You can also upload any document to your profile. I uploaded my family history, along with some other immunizations and blood tests that I’ve had done in the past…I just scanned the documents in. Now, whenever I change physicians, or need to look something up it’s always there and I never have to have records transferred or look them up manually.

My road to 100% digital: I now have my medical records, music, movies, and almost all of my important bills/utilities (i.e. insurance, mortgage, auto loan, investments etc.) online and in digital format. The only physical items I receive in the mail now are magazines and marketing junk. Al ofl the import stuff I receive via email, or it’s auto deducted from my accounts. I’m debating whether to go 100% digital on magazines…but I still like reading magazines and books in physical format, not sure why.
