Google opens website for storing medical records
Google Inc. opened a free website that manages patients’ medical records online, part of a plan to make users more loyal by adding services.
Patients can upload medical records from other organizations, enter their own data and search for information on health conditions, said Marissa Mayer, a Google vice president.
Google, owner of the most popular search engine, is forging partnerships with hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and medical-test providers so that people can store and manage their electronic files on a single website. The company will continue to sign up partners to ensure that its users have the broadest possible access to medical information, Mayer said.
Google’s partners include the Cleveland Clinic, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Longs Drug Stores Corp. and Walgreen Co.
