Google are taking patient health information a step further with their new Google Health application. You can access it and create your own Google Health profile from your Google account. You can learn about conditions and import your medical records and history, although at the moment there is only a short list of US participating hospitals, primary care providers and pharmacists. It looks as though it will comment on potential drug interactions based upon the data that you enter for yourself.
Keep an eye on this to see how it develops, and how it may compare with the online part of the NHS Direct service.
