Facebook Inc is cracking the door open into another part of its users’ personal lives: their health.

The social media giant on Oct 28 announced a feature that will use a person’s age and gender to provide preventive health-care information, including suggested checkups. Users can then find a nearby doctor or clinic, set a reminder for their appointment and mark it "done” once they’ve completed a visit – all on Facebook.
