Read Michael’s post first, and Fred’s later. I’ll comment on one part, HealthVault will allow “apps†to access data, but will show users a log of exactly what apps or people accessed the data . If this is limited to apps that help you push information to your health provider, or help you keep track of your own health, well and good. I am not sure there is the need to make personalized health records overly technical or fancy. This would be an excellent case for “less is more”, because less = better control and more security.
