Facebook introduces a health monitoring feature

Facebook presents a new function, which many surely did not expect. It is a function called Preventive Health Tool, with which the social network seeks that users can control their health. Users have to provide a series of data, which helps them to have an idea about their state of health, in order to prevent possible problems.

The idea is that this function can issue advice, recommendations or any type of notice related to our health. So that in this way we can take action and prevent certain problems.

New health function

The social network requests certain data from users. Due to the many privacy problems they have had over the years, Facebook mentions that it is sensitive or personal data, but that it is treated with more care than it is with other data. A way to seek to reassure users or try to make them less suspicious.

This feature is currently available only in the United States. Users in this country can already use it. We do not know if it will be launched in other countries, although it is assumed that the plans of the social network go through it.

Without a doubt, it is something that can be useful for many people. Although considering Facebook's problems in these years, there are doubts about what they can do with the data. Since the reliability of the social network has been in doubt on more than one occasion.
