Microsoft HealthVault

Jennifer Owens looks at the benefits associated with Microsoft HealthVault development.

People are supposed to use Microsoft HealthVault for storing and transferring information between a host of devices, health-related applications, clinical systems, and services. HealthVault is supposed to be a web-based platform that Microsoft has offered for collecting, storing, sharing, and maintaining all kinds of medical, fitness, and health information. This is a personal medical or health record system launched in October 2007.

The website is meant basically for healthcare professionals. Users can now manage their medical records and easily share their health-related or medical information with family, friends, and, most importantly, healthcare professionals. Thanks to the Internet, you have easy access to some reliable and competent health management applications.

HealthVault Development

HealthVault development is a huge step forward as far as the healthcare industry is concerned. It is a web application accessed effectively by HealthVault website users. It can communicate with the HV platform servers precisely to determine precise data access rights, rights needed for deleting, creating, updating, and reading all kinds of information and data stored in the HealthVault System.

This application must go through some authentication and authorization procedures and steps before accessing the data in the HealthVault System. The user starts an actual browser session. He accesses the HealthVault Web Page, Facebook Account Credentials, or a Microsoft Open ID. This authentication process is referred to as the HealthVault User Shell.

Start the user shell by opening the HealthVault Application. The user will be immediately taken to the HealthVault Webpage and asked to sign in. When the user signs in, the application will immediately start running.

Useful in Creating New Business Avenues

You could now be delivering more value to your clients and members. More value implies stronger relationships and much stricter adherence to patient treatment plans.

Great for Delivering Value Quickly

HealthVault offers a host of services that are useful in developing apps quickly for people with a specific interest area or condition or individuals passionate about keeping track of health and fitness. Thanks to HealthVault, various solution providers benefit immensely from the remarkable storage capacity.

Data from Diverse Devices Are Welcome

HealthVault Connection Centre transfers health and fitness information from various devices such as blood pressure monitors, Withings Wifi Body Scale, and heart rate watches.

After that, it could help locate and download the medical device drivers. In 2014, Microsoft introduced Microsoft Band, a fitness band that facilitates the aggregation and integration of a variety of services, such as MyFitnessPal.

Medical Imaging Storage Much Easier Now

HealthVault helps store DICOM-based medical imaging. Users can download required medical imaging DVDs from the HealthVault Connection Centre with efficient assistance. Third parties can also upload or download medical imaging to and from HealthVault.

Interoperability Assured

HealthVault offers a host of exchange formats, namely industry standards such as Continuity of Care Document and Continuity of Care Record. It supports all current healthcare industry standards, which is precisely why it can easily integrate with many personal healthcare record services and solutions.
