I was initially disappointed when I signed up for my own personal HealthVault account. After spending some time redaing about the product, I realized that Microsoft's HealthVault is not a "PHR" but rather a "PHR platform" with a set of back-end services for secure storage, retrieval and sharing of healthcare information. These services can be used by a developer to actually build what we may describe as a "classic PHR"

In reply to Mark Singh's comment, it's true that HealthVault isn't a product so much as a platform. Still, Microsoft built its software success on creating a platform on which developers built useful applications. If they can generate sufficient interest among developers, HealthVault could become extremely useful to the public.
Frankly, the cost of healthcare is becoming a national crisis. The challenge is whether HealthVault can reach critical mass, creating a sufficiently large ecosystem to make it useful and self-supporting.
“It's a long journey,” said Peter Neupert, the head of Microsoft's health care efforts. “To make a difference in health care, it is going to take time and scale. And Microsoft has both.”
