Microsoft Rolls Out Personal Health Records

The NY Times article, "Microsoft Rolls Out Personal Health Records," covers Microsoft's HealthVault product.

"Microsoft does not expect most individuals to type in much of their own health information into the Web-based record. Instead, the company hopes that individuals will give doctors, clinics and hospitals permission to directly send into their HealthVault record information like medicines prescribed or, say, test results showing blood pressure and cholesterol levels."
