Google Health is an application with an open API, and its long term success depends on the developer community building useful applications that help people achieve their health goals.
In this talk, we will describe this model and the role of developers who create specialized solutions for people with specific health needs. We will focus in particular on the increasingly important role of mobile applications in health and how those will work with Google Health.
We will demonstrate sample mobile applications and suggest areas ripe for development of new mobile apps.
