What is Google Health?
Google Health is an online consumer-based product offered to individuals who want to organize, store, and track their health care needs, issues, and information. The service is offered free of charge by Google as part of an individualized health management account. Users enjoy individualized tracking of health and wellbeing as the main feature of Google Health. Google Health was implemented in 2008. In 2011, Google announced that it would be withdrawing the service in 2012.
