language (spanish/English)

articles to be retrieved during their
next doctor’s visit. This application
can be used by anyone who is
interested in a tool that helps them
follow up with their health. User’s
can track health information
individually by creating multiple
profiles.

6. Connection to Clinical Preventive Services &
Wellness Information

Google’s Places api which allows
users to find health services using
the same database used by Google
maps.
Google Places has over 80 million
owner-verified listings which are
frequently updated.
