Google begins dismantling Google Health

Dear Google Health Partner,

As we just announced in the Official Google Blog, we will be discontinuing the Google Health service and platform over the next several months. For more context around this announcement, please check out our blog post.

Going forward, we recommend that you notify your team and discontinue any current development around your Google Health integration. Also, you’ll need to remove the integration functionality as well as Google Health related text and logos from your website as of January 1, 2012. Please consider this as our notice to terminate our agreement with you on the Google Health API Terms and Conditions, found at https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googhealthdevelopers.

We truly appreciate your partnership and support of the Google Health service.

Best regards,

The Google Health Team
