I had more time to look at Microsoft’s HealthVault. After creating my own personal account, I was disappointed by the sparseness of what I saw. There was no place for me to enter my past medical history, medication lists or allergies. As a physician and a software developer, I must admit, I was confused by what I saw. It was not entirely obvious from the look and feel as to what the application really does.
After spending more time with the product, it is clear now that HealthVault is actually a set of services for storage and retrieval of health data. I will be diving deeper over the next few days and hopefully will have more insight.
