The HealthVault platform provides a privacy-enhanced and security-enhanced foundation that can be used to store and transfer information between a variety of providers' health services and health devices."

On Technology and Innovation
Technology innovation is only worthwhile if it impacts someone’s life. The impact can be small, medium or large but it has to make a difference. We are particularly excited with the acceleration of healthcare unbound technologies like Halo Monitoring which are enabling the care of people’s health outside of traditional facilities - at home and on the road.
