Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) launched its Google Health beta site service for archiving medical records and finding medical services on Monday.
Google Health can be used to upload, store and view personal information; retrieve medical records from partners; investigate health matters; set alerts such as a reminder to take medication; and run applications that can track health status.
Google Health made customers worry about the access of their personal information online. However, Google Health announced that the service will never sell a patient's information and will only share it with the patient's permission. A user can revoke rights to share at any time.
Google Health integrates with medical records already stored electronically at pharmacies, medical facilities and Allscripts, which stores medical records for more than 40,000 doctors.
