Welcome to Microsoft HealthVault
Be well. Connected.
The Challenge
Today's healthcare system is complicated and
cumbersome. Health information stored mainly on paper is scattered and
disconnected. A patient may have health records with several doctors, hospitals,
and clinics. Medication and prescription history may be spread across several
different pharmacies. Self-care information, such as diet and exercise routines,
may be unavailable. And any changes or updates to these records may never reach
the treating provider.
The Solution
Put consumers in control of their health information, store it in a central
location, and make it easy to share and update. How? With Microsoft
HealthVault, a security-enhanced, flexible health solutions platform.
Through HealthVault and the growing ecosystem of connected, patient-friendly
tools, people can store copies of their health records obtained from
several sources; upload information from health and fitness devices; provide their
information to healthcare providers, coaches, and trainers; and access products
and services.
HealthVault lets people consolidate their health information into one easily
accessible account to help them become more informed and active in
managing their health.
Together we can create a connected health community.

Intended Use. Information from a HealthVault account can supplement information available to healthcare providers from other sources and provide a more complete picture of the patient's health. However, the information in HealthVault accounts is controlled by the individual, and is not intended to be a substitute for medical records. Information from HealthVault should not be used by health care providers to make treatment decisions without independent evaluation, and only after being copied into the healthcare provider's own system.
