As if Google hasn’t cornered the Internet market on just about everything, one of its many children, Google Health<\/a>, just enjoyed a serious makeover, making it one of the most comprehensive and integrated online\u00a0health tracking tools ever.<\/p>\n

In the past, Google Health allowed you to\u00a0store and track your own health information online, but its recent partnerships with CardioTrainer and FitBit add more texture and tools to anyone wanting to stay more accountable of their health.<\/p>\n

CardioTrainer is a a mobile app for tracking fitness activity and weight loss and FitBit<\/a> is a wearable device that tracks not only how many calories you consumed at lunch, but also how many steps it took you to walk from your car to your office and how many minutes it took you to fall asleep. <\/p>\n

With this newly designed and customizable\u00a0dashboard,\u00a0Google Health will now organize all of your health and wellness information in one place. You can track your progress and compare your results easily, whatever goal or issue you\u2019re interested in keeping tabs on. Whether you want to monitor how much caffeine<\/a> you consume, your body weight or even\u00a0chronicle\u00a0your pregnancy food cravings, just input the data and Google Health lets you see the results, cleanly presented in one place.<\/p>\n

You also have access to your own online journal<\/a>, where you can record what you eat as well as access informational articles on a recently diagnosed\u00a0health condition or learn about the side effects of a particular medication you are taking.<\/p>\n

Google is reaching out to those who\u00a0can have a major impact on individual\u00a0health – health\u00a0care providers themselves. By\u00a0directly working with Lucile Packard Children\u2019s Hospital at Stanford, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and Sharp HealthCare, Google Health is\u00a0creating awareness\u00a0around its new offerings so that Americans harness the power of technology to take better care of their health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
