Google more serious about health industry

I'm saying this because Google makes most of its money from advertising.

I first noticed Google's interest in health-related issues when I blogged about Adam Bosworth's keynote speech at the AMIA congress. And more recently, Google listed the members of their health advisory council. I guess I had my head in the sand, because Google has been looking at the health industry for some time now.

So how can I tell that Google is getting serious about the health industry? Because as of mid-June Google has a Health Advertising Blog.

I figure anytime Google gets interested in a new area, it's worth watching them. So I'll be watching that blog in the future.

Glad your son would like my pump!

I was born in Ireland and now live in the US. I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 35 years. I struggle with my blood sugar, the same as most people with diabetes. I wear a Cozmo 1800 insulin pump and a Dexcom SEVEN CGM to track my blood glucose levels. I also take Symlin to help control my post-meal blood sugars. I'm blessed by God, and every day brings the possibility of a cure.
