PHR's : 1 up, 1 down -- Microsoft HealthVault, Revolution

So, it's a big week in PHR-land.

• Revolution Health stops theirs for lack of users.
• Obama doesn't mention health IT in his State of the Union address.
• Microsoft Health Vault goes off to test European waters via Siemens in Germany.

Good thing the weekend is almost upon us...But that doesn't mean the news will stop. On the contrary, with all the tweeters, bloggers, etc, we're all having to tweet and blog, faster and faster to keep our platforms current.

Who can predict the physionomy of the PHR market? All I can say, is that it is sure to be hybrid. No big new national programs that ultimately bite the dust, despite Denmark's success. Long live innovation...We're waiting for the breakthrough and if we don't continue to innovate, phr's will remain imperfect for quite some time.
