Google Health (ex) Guru Adam Bosworth Cheers Microsoft HealthVault PHRs

By DONNA BOGATIN • May 20th, 2008 • Category: BIG PICTURE

52008ab2.jpg The Google “ecosystem” is a powerful one BUT not always an entirely Googley one!  For big ex-Googler example, former Google Health chief Adam Bosworth likes what he sees in the online health PHR space: MICROSOFT HEALTHVAULT!

Bosworth long served as a vocal public champion of Google Health. He unceremoniously became an ex-Googler, however, and now is pleased to welcome ex-boss Eric Schmidt’s arch enemy to a healthy Web table: Microsoft, another computing powerhouse Bosworth has historical ties to.

Adam Bosworth on Microsoft’s HealthVault:

I want to commend Microsoft for launching HealthVault. They are doing a good thing. Consumers need to take charge of their health data and control it.

When there is a $2 trillion health care opportunity at stake, MANY PLAYERS want to “take charge” of health data and control it!
