Abstract: Public demand for information about health matters has led several organizations to develop custom systems for self-management of medical information. These systems facilitate the management of this information by the public, health care professionals, public institutions, companies and groups of patients. Thanks to new technologies, patients are taking an active role in searching the internet with queries about health-related issues, which gives rise to a debate about the accreditations of web pages that disseminate health information. In this context, Google, with applications such as Google Health, Flu Trends and Android, and Microsoft, with its HealthVault utility, have become the maximum exponents of medical information management software.
