I am a big proponent of personal health records, and speaking first hand with helping my mother who is a senior, you need some real hands on help to convey the concept and help individuals understand the value. If you just put it out there on the web with sparse meetings, it’s not going to have...

This is a good survey, but it’s like stating you would like to have a hot fudge sundae, you have to get up and make on or get in the car and drive somewhere to buy one. So how do you get access – get a personal health record so you have a method and a place to store the information. A few years...

This is an interesting article that in the long run focuses on interoperability for Personal Health Records. When you compare side by side, there are pros and cons for both Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault. Who knows some day the 2 might even talk to each other as well, which may...
