Visualizing Healthcare Data

What happens when consumers can visualize data related to their health?

As readers of my blog know, I am a Google fanboy and I'm hardly alone. When most people think of search these days, Google comes to mind. The company continues to dominate the US market. Yahoo! and Bing are afterthoughts for most of us.

Dominant isn't the same as perfect, though. Yes, Google's text-heavy results are usually pretty useful. At the same time, though, they can be overwhelming, even if your searches include quotes, negative keywords, timelines, and other tricks. What's more, depending on the subject, Google search results don't necessarily lead you to the "right" answer. Many times, we have to refine our searches and ask better questions.

It's silly to assume that all types of searches are created equal. "Best business books of 2012" isn't the same type of search as "address of the Bellagio hotel." One is more subjective than the other. And, for obvious reasons, searches on personal health are special, especially in light of privacy concerns and the recent Prism scandal.

What if you could easily access all relevant health data in an secure, visual, and interactive format?
