IBM | Google Health Record news

February 05, 2009. IBM announced another groundbreaking initiative in the drive to improve the capabilities and value of personal health records. IBM and Google announced new advances – powered by IBM software – that allow all kinds of personal medical devices used for patient monitoring, screening and routine evaluation to automatically stream their results into an individual’s Google Health Account or other personal health record. From there, patients can direct how their “health diaries” will be shared with physicians, family, and other members of the extended care network.
