Last week, Microsoft announced several new health care related initiatives and solutions including HealthVault Insights to help health industry partners and organizations to use intelligent technology to improve the lives of people around the world. HealthVault Insights is a research-based project designed to allow partners to generate new insights about patient health, drive adherence to care plans and encourage patient engagement powered by the latest scientific advances in machine learning.

It brings together data to give you better visibility into your patients’ health. Data sources include apps and devices, via the Apple Health and Google Fit services, as well as patient medical records. Care providers can create and deliver customized chronic care or wellness plans for their patients, while patients can easily customize and manage their healthcare tasks so that they can stay on track with their plans. Patients can also communicate with their Care providers through the HealthVault Insights app, receiving and providing real-time feedback. HealthVault Insights comes with the following set of features,
