A poem written by my 18 year old ( Pomona -bound!) daughter Alex, in support of Lupus Awareness Month . An Ode to Lupus Oh Lupus, you do suck so bad, ...At times you drive my family mad. It’s not that fun when, due to flares, Not Mom nor I can...

Just got my copy of Vaibhav's new book: Enabling Programmable Self with HealthVault and am totally psyched. It's a super introduction for anyone looking to experiment with the HealthVault platform: a great combination of breadth/context and deep samples...

I really, really believe in HealthVault . I’m six years into the adventure, and it’s been a little more than four since the service officially launched in October 2007 . I wish everybody had a HealthVault record --- but they don’t...

Never before have I been part of a community where the ratio of “talking” to “doing” is so out of balance. The Meaningful Use Stage 2 proposed rules up the ante on patient engagement, and in a study just released by NeHC , 95%...

After getting home from HIMSS Thursday night, barely making it through work on Friday, and sleeping pretty much all day today, I’m finally feeling close to normal again. What an insane week --- our little four-person HealthVault contingent was not...
