Google Health was releaseed last May as a way to help individuals securely store their health information. Today, Google announced an exciting new feature which allows users to share their medical records with designated family or close friends.

From the tech crunch article: "The general idea behind the feature is that oftentimes during emergencies family members may not know the details of your medical history, like medical allergies. Such information can be lifesaving, but sharing extremely personal medical information is not something that should be taken lightly. Google is taking lengthy measures to ensure the security of the data, associating invite links to specific Email addresses and allowing users to track who has viewed their records. All shared records are also read-only."
