Justine is 38 years old and
works for a local nonprofit
outside of San Francisco,
where she lives with
her seven-year-old son.
Justine wants to stay healthy,
but with so many
responsibilities she has a hard
time setting up and maintaining
her fitness goals.
A friend at the office told
her about Google Health.
Google Health offers
personalized fitness and health
trackers and a host of
integrated applications and
devices that can help you
better manage your health, from
your diet to tracking
your medications.
You can even get customized
articles and information
based on your personal
health summary.
To try it out, Justine set
a goal of running five
miles every two days.
She tracked her progress toward
this goal in Google Health and
used the personalized notes
feature to jot down how
she felt on each run.
Seeing her improvement over
time encouraged Justine to keep
going and to set her goals
higher as she realized
she could meet them.
She even signed up for
a half-marathon in
her neighborhood.
At the request of her doctor,
Justine also started tracking
her caffeine intake, as well
as her sleep patterns.
Luckily, Google Health allows
her to create trackers
for anything she likes.
Over time, the data in
Justine's Google Health profile
started telling a story.
It looks like Justine doesn't
sleep as well when she drinks
more than two cups
of coffee a day.
For Justine, the information
in her Google Health profile
empowered her to keep running
and make changes that help
her sleep and feel better.
Health and wellness goals are
easier to meet with accurate
information at your fingertips.
