Google kills off ‘Health’ and ‘PowerMeter’ effectively 2012

If you didn’t know, there is a number of blood pressure monitoring apps in iOS that’s using Google Healthy service. The search giant’s health management portal also paired with dozens of other services (a heaping handful can be seen in the image above) to aggregate and track all of your data, and share it with family members, friends, and doctors.

The service didn’t have the widespread impact that Google expected, however, so it’s taking Health offline after the clock strikes midnight on January 1, 2012. You’ll have another year to download your info, or send it directly to competing services.

Also on the chopping block is PowerMeter, a free energy monitoring tool that pairs with smart power meters and other energy monitoring devices to help users better understand consumption habits and ultimately reduce costs. That project will get the boot from Mountain View on September 16th, but you’ll be able to log in to your account to download a CSV file.
