To clarify the scientific approach in getting feature considered in Google Health only three methods are countable and measurable.
Some are reluctant to mention same feature request listed in the past to avoid duplication. This approach won't work b/c Google PM only consider statistic and no. of votes. I'd like to clarify this b/c many have consulted me on Google Health API from time to time. This would help me to advise them how to vote for their requesting features. - Stars in issue tracker - Forum (This Google Group) - Blog - Meetup (Not measurable) * - Conference (Not measurable) * * This is not practical or useful for most developers b/c Google Health team and PM are not actively participating in many local developer events and only appear in very exclusive conferences.
