We have learned that Google announced that it will be retiring Google Health to new users on January 1, 2012 and the data will be available for download through January 1, 2013. Google Health was a different kind of service provided by Google, it required that consumers use their profile to upload their personal health data and store it in a Personal Health Record (PHR). The announcement made by Google stated that they were stopping this service because users did not adopt it as widely as was imagined.
If you are a Google Health user then you have plenty of time to download your information from your profile.
Available formats include:
- Printable PDF including all the records in your Google Health profile
- Industry-standard Continuity of Care Record (CCR) XML that can be imported into other personal health tools such as Microsoft® HealthVault™
- Comma-separated value (CSV) files that can be imported into spreadsheets and database programs for ongoing tracking and graphing
- HTML and XML versions of the original “data notices” sent to your Google Health profile by linked data providers
- A unified ZIP archive that includes all files you’ve uploaded to your profile, plus all of the formats above
