Microsoft HealthVault Makes Managing Health Apps and Devices Easier

If you are looking for a program to help organize all aspects of you and your family’s healthcare, Microsoft HealthVault might be just what you’re looking for. It has just about everything, from keeping track of health records, to managing fitness. Here are the main categories on HealthVault, and their features, summarized from here:

  • Organize your family’s health information: Keep health records in one place, details like medications, blood pressure and health history, organize children’s health information for immediate access, and just store information for easy access. 
  • Be better prepared for doctor’s visits and unexpected emergencies: You can create an emergency health profile, information can be easily accessed from any device that has an Internet connection, and be able to share information at doctor’s appointments.
  • Create a more complete picture of your health, with you at the center: Lab results and visit records from participating healthcare facilities, store and share images, and monitor chronic conditions
  • Achieve your fitness goals: Set goals, track exercise, and celebrate success.

Here is a list of all the devices and apps that can be connected to HealthVault. There are obviously a lot, which really makes HealthVault a very versatile tool. As I read more about it, it really does seem like a very valuable tool. Especially if someone feels kind of overwhelmed about having tons of different apps, this condensed them down and makes them a little easier to handle.

You can sign up for HealthVault here, and it is available HealthVault is available for Windows 8 devices and can be downloaded from the Windows App Store and also can be used on the iPhone.
