Google Launches Revolutionary Health Channel
The websites bet feature is personal profile. It is the most useful aspect of the website. It asks for general information like age and sex. It also has sections for medical conditions, medicines, procedures, and test results. This is excellent! It is a great way to maintain medical records. Traditional, non-electronic methods for keeping track of medical records can easily be destroyed in fires, floods, and other disasters.
The drug interaction section is by far best feature this website. Many Americans take a variety of medications for a variety of purposes. Sometimes there are complications with taking several different types of medications. This feature warns users of potential problems when taking multiple medications.
Google assists the users in finding medical professionals as well. This feature is useful in someone ways, but doesn't compare to traditional methods of finding a doctor. Asking other doctors, family, and friends are better alternatives for finding a good doctor. Family and friends often have similar medical conditions and have firsthand experience with medical doctors.
The website also allows its users to import information from Walgreens, Medco, and similar organizations. There are some flaws in this section. This section only allows records to be imported from a small number of sites. If users don't have records with these companies, then this feature is useless. Security is another issue. Having medical records online may make some users feel uncomfortable. Avoid using this feature in unsafe areas with WIFI connection. Medical records should be kept private.
This website is excellent for anyone has a severe medical condition! Americans with cancer, diabetes, and heart disease should definitely consider making use of the channel. Individuals with medical conditions have to monitor their health more cautiously, and Google makes this easier.
Google health is a great addition to the family, regardless if it is frequently used or not. I recommend that families take advantage of the profile section for easy access. The other features are a waste of time for someone who is in excellent health. It is important for individuals to fully understand their health, but it is also important for them to maintain contact with doctors, pharmacists, and other medical professionals.
