I can say this was needed as things have progressed in the last couple of years since Google Health was introduced. We now see some consumer devices that can now connect and make it easier for one to get the data in place. Cardio Trainer and Fitbit were named as 2 new devices that connect...

I like to keep the far right hand side open for both advertisers and resources to be used by healthcare individuals as well as consumers. Today I did an update with both the graphics and added a new PHR to the list, Patient Ally. Patient Ally is also a “free” PHR that is offered and stored on...

This is indeed a very heated issue with the rise of new technologies and the need to really educate and demand and request participating of Congress and Legislators with some forms of what is rapidly growing in healthcare technologies. There is a company called PositiveID that has been included...

This report card was based on what was determined to be privacy protection. Below I have listed the comments about using an employer or insurer PHR as stated on the report card you may be giving up some privacy with others having access with waivers or surveys that come with using the program. ...

Just last week Office Ally announced new information regarding their PHR, personal health records, and security and privacy is something that is on everyone’s mind today.

The National Health Information Network already exists and to date has never been tested for the public to use, but the move to shift all of healthcare to it’s own network is a big one, so I would guess you could think of a separate entire entity here, used for healthcare information only. The...

I hope I am reading this correctly, you get the benefit of an auto populated PHR, but in essence it is not private as payers will have access? This is slated to roll out by the year end. Not too long ago I posted about HeatlhVault working with TriZetto. TriZetto is business intelligence...

One thing Mr. Gates certainly has correct is the fact that the way we interact with computers, cell phones, etc. is changing, and it is changing rapidly, and anyone who reads this blog regularly is aware. Look at the various medical devices I include here for a quick example. When I engage...

Kaiser uses a system from Epic, and back a few months ago I talked with Memorial Hospital in Long Beach about the privacy features in the system, called “Break the Glass” at their facility and the same may be in place at all installations I might guess. There is no way to keep everything 100% secure...

We have a new buzz word for this now, “ participatory sensing” from the halls of UCLA. I think at this time this might be a good idea to roll this right up into the “meaningful use” discussions going on. They do go hand in hand. One of the key areas they address from the text below...

Nobody can argue with the fact that employers who provide gyms, healthy eating advice, nurses or doctors on premise are not a good thing, it’s a huge convenience and helps. Of course larger companies have the abilities more so than smaller employers to provide this type of service. Being...

This sounds like a good idea in concept, but first of all we have to get people to “read”. One other item worth a mention is the fact that by the time the information is published, it’s out of date. Google and Microsoft protect the enterprise and government so perhaps you think that maybe...
