Speaking for physicians in small and medium size medical practices (over 50 per cent of doctors in the US practice in units with 4 or fewer clinicians), there is a real need for a medical practice viewer app that makes it really easy for patients/consumers to link their Google Health account to their customary practice. Think of this as an accelerator that would allow the 80% of physicians who don't use an EHR software application a method for health data exchange with their patients, primarily concerning the basics: medications, lab results, immunizations, vital signs.
