The vendors announced their wares at the second annual Microsoft HealthVault Solutions Conference in Bellevue, Wash. Kryptiq Corp. in Hillsboro, Ore., for instance, announced that GreenField Health, a clinic in Portland, Ore., is using the Connect IQ Web portal and secure messaging software to enable patients to transmit data in their PHR--such as blood pressure values or medications--to their physician’s inbox in the clinic’s Centricity electronic health records software from GE Healthcare. Kryptiq next month will make the functionality a standard part of its products.
Patients of physicians using the free Allscripts ePrescribe software from Chicago-based Allscripts LLC will be able to have an electronic copy of their medication history, conditions and allergies to place in their HealthVault PHR.
Consumers also can use a variety of patient monitoring devices to monitor blood pressure, glucose levels, peak flow, oxygen levels, weight, body fat, body mass index, calories and distance traveled, and place this information in their PHR. HealthVault vendor partners for these devices include A&D, Home Diagnostics Inc., HoMedics, LifeScan, Microlife, Nonin, Omron, Polar and Tanita.
