This week, Facebook has launched a new Preventive Health Tool. It is an optional process within its main app which based on users age and gender information and help them to undergo regular health check-up.
According to Facebook, they mentioned that in US many people are missing out on recommended preventive care. Moreover, preventive measures have the potential to detect disease early when it is most treatable and in some cases, it tends to be prevent it from developing.
In order to prevent these, the new option [Preventive Health Tool] is now available within Facebook extended apps. Furthermore, it will based on your personal information and recommend that you undertake check-ups relative to your age.

For one, the health check-up tool doesn’t store any information about your results, it merely prompts you with reminders for relevant check-ups, so it’s not a record of your health as such.
But Facebook has also gone to expanded effort to underline the fact that users information shared within the tool will not be used for advertisement targeting.
