Mission:
To allow people to organize health information for multiple family members in one place and receive real-time, individualized reminders and health guidance developed by experts at Mayo Clinic.

Background:
The Mayo Clinic Health Manager, an online tool created by the Mayo Clinic in partnership with Microsoft, was designed to help individuals and families store health information from many sources in one location. For more than a century, the Mayo Clinic, has provided health care, clinical trials, and education and research at its primary facility in Minnesota and also in Arizona and Florida.

Outstanding Web Features:
The Mayo Clinic Health Manager is powered by Microsoft HealthVault, a security-enhanced, free online service that collects and stores health information. HealthVault also has the capacity to transfer information between a variety of providers' health services and systems. In effect, this functionality extends the capabilities of personal health records, using an individual's health information to generate customized recommendations. After patients answer a series of questions about their personal and family medical history, the Mayo Clinic Health Manager application recommends ways to maintain or improve one's health and offers articles developed and approved by expert physicians at Mayo Clinic. For security reasons, users must log on to receive reminders and suggestions offered by the clinic. In addition to health records, registered users can also upload information from home health devices such as blood glucose monitors and digital scales.
