Google Health Nearing Launch?

It appears Google may have inadvertently put up the login page for its upcoming Google Health project a bit early. Google Blogoscoped stumbled upon the following link:

https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=health

Which takes you to the Google Health Beta login page that describes the service a bit:

With Google Health, you can:

  • Build online health profiles that belong to you
  • Download medical records from doctors and pharmacies
  • Get personalized health guidance and relevant news
  • Find qualified doctors and connect to time-saving services
  • Share selected information with family or caregivers

It looks like this service is going to have some very interesting and very powerful features with a goal of making the managing of your medical information easier. Privacy and security advocates are no doubt going to be up in arms about some of these things.

Neither the ‘Take a quick tour’ link or the logging-in functionality currently work, but it would seem Google is getting rather close to kicking this thing off.
