Does anyone else think it's funny how often we combine words now? HealthVault, UnitedHealthcare, WhealthWatcher$... those are just a few of the prominent names who have done this.
Well, Microsoft has stepped into the fledgling electronic medical records (sometimes called "electronic health records") business. We'll see if this one grows roots. Nothing else has made much of an impact yet. Problems facing the adoption of electronic medical records include privacy concerns of consumers, guarded insurers, and the fact that only about 20% of doctors and hospitals keep electronic records. They're usually just pieces of paper in a folder.
Check out HealthVault and see if it's any good. I'm about to do so myself.
