Personal Health Records and the Individual

  • I use an Omron pedometer which I track in HealthVault via the WalkMe service. My Polar FT80 HRM however stores data in their service. I use the equally isolated gtFtr to track random workouts and weigh-ins. Other people may use something like a Nike+, FitBit or a Philips DirectLife (with personal recommendations) to track their activity and a Withings scale that twitters your weight to your followers. Every time I go to the gym there’s no record of what I actually did there (hence the need for a Gym Buddy) so there’s no way my doctor knows I’m actually following their recommendations or my personal trainer to see the results of my latest checkup.

    There are initiatives like Continua to come up with common standards for connected equipment but at the moment they seem to have some IP requirements standing in the way of getting more people to the table.

  • Check out www.TrainingPeaks.com which was one of the first HealthVault compatible software platforms. You can upload workouts, track metrics like weight, sleep, stress and upload files from any one of more than 80 different devices (GPS, heart rate monitors, power meters) and even easily track what you eat. Specific workouts as well as changes in fitness and health over time can be reviewed and analyzed by you or a Professional (doctor, coach, dietitian, etc). Contact me (jduerksen_at_peaksware.com) and I'd be happy to give you a demo. (TrainingPeaks is also the solution you were asking about in your comment on the PedalBrain post on Techcrunch)
