[Source: MedApps] – MedApps has joined forces with Microsoft Corp. to provide a new, convenient and cost effective solution to transmit medical device readings into an online health record. MedApps’ HealthPAL is a unique solution that eliminates the need for expensive specialized equipment, smart phones, hard-wired monitoring systems or even computer access in order for individuals to upload medical device readings to their Microsoft HealthVault account. This collaboration makes it easier than ever for patients to play a greater role in their own health management while lowering healthcare costs through increased compliance.

MedApps’ HealthPAL delivers a seamless “hands off” solution for people to upload accurate health information into their HealthVault account. HealthVault enables users to gather, store and manage health information online, all in one place. In turn, healthcare providers and other caregivers have access to valuable health data delivered in a more timely and dependable manner. Physicians can dispense advice without collecting and deciphering hand-written patients’ log books, parents can monitor their children at school remotely, and caregivers can monitor elder relatives’ health conditions from a distance.
