HealthVault: Microsoft's strategy for consumer health-records managmenet

On October 4, Microsoft launched an open beta of HealthVault, a client application plus a Live service that will allow consumers to build and maintain a personal health record.

HealthVault is comprised of a number of different elements: A records database stored in Microsoft-hosted datacenters; one or more Live services providing users and approved health professionals with access to those records; a secure health-focused search engine; and various mechanisms for inputting everything from health-device data, to prescription information into a centralized record repository.

Do we really need to follow all this information about ourselves? Or is medicine so lousy that we need to do it. AS for trust, if we trust Kaiser Permanente, why not Microsoft?
