How HealthVault works

HealthVault lets you collect and store health data from many sources, then use it with HealthVault-compatible Web tools that help you take charge of your health. HealthVault works with doctors, hospitals, employers, pharmacies, insurance providers and manufacturers of health devices—blood pressure monitors, heart rate monitors and more—to make it easy for you to add information electronically to your HealthVault record.

  • Gain insight with data that helps you make informed decisions
