Mixed Martial Arts Health Show Down
February 4, 2009
GOOG versus MSFT. Two formidable contenders. The title is on the line. You can read the details in Government Technology here. With a sample of 30, I am not sure the findings are valid. For me, the most important comment was:
User Centric’s comparative study found neither Google Health nor Microsoft HealthVault were perfect applications; each had flaws in the user experience which were seen to reduce participants’ willingness to adopt PHR technology. However, participants preferred Google Health over Microsoft HealthVault because navigation and data entry of health information was easier than on the other application. Participants said that the Google Health application used more familiar medical terminology and provided a persistent health information profile summary.
Too bad there was no discussion of Google’s “I’ m feeling doubly lucky” invention.
