I checked out both Google Health and MS HealthVault, and I am using HealthVault. It has more apps built in and MS allows anyone to build an app to go with it, so there may be a lot of interesting options as time progresses. As more docs get online, pun intended, I think that it has the possibility to improve the healthcare industry. I am a bit concerned about privacy, but then again, my doc's file cabinet full of coffee-stained manila folders isn't exactly vault-protected. I have to say I’m with Rob on this one.

I hope there aren't any aspects of healthcare that end up in the same terrible place as the auto or airline industries.,.. I've used MS HealthVault for several months now, and I think it's pretty cool from my perspective as a consumer. As you say, there's a lot of infrastructure left to build, but I like what I've seen so far. The privacy policy is much better than I would have expected, and my doctor is totally cool with it (I do live in Seattle, though, so it may take a while for folks elsewhere to convince their docs to tech up). I'm looking forward to seeing where it all goes, and I think I'm maybe optimistic. Ouch!
