HealthVault - Microsoft's Consumer Health Platform Launches Today

This is a great day for Microsoft and consumers, the long awaited HealthVault platform launches today.

You can read the press release that highlights the consumer health vision and announces the great industry support and partners.

This follows closely the release of HealthVault Search of last week.

Expect to see a lot of buzz around this in the next following days as the search engines start picking this up.

For partners and developers we also launched a dedicated Microsoft HealthVault Developer Center.

  Hi Roberto, I'm really excited about this new offering. Initially after reading the announcement, I thought HealthVault was a PHR. However, after spending some time with the SDK and other materials, its clear that HealthVault is really a back-end service to enable applications to manage personal health data in a secure manner with the patient controlling the access. I have spent some time blogging my initial impressions and plan to play around with some of the SDK samples. Mark Singh
