PHR vendors
Table of contents
The market for personal health records (PHRs) vendors is small but growing rapidly and evolving in interesting directions since the launch of Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault.
Evaluating a PHR vendor
First, look at the company and the credibility of its team. It is easy to make claims of high security but hard to have a team of high calibre people whose attach their names and reputations to these claims.
Second, look at the claims they make. What type of security
implementation do they have, whether or not they use encryption, publish their
policies with respect to data security and protection in a format that
is easily acceptable, any complaints that they may have had with
respect to unauthorized accesses of personal health data.
