Microsoft Health Vault
This article describes online medical care offered through the internet. I was surprised to see that so much development was already in the works for online health care.
Watch the video on the Microsoft site and check out the web applications link on the lower right of the Microsoft web page.
From the article:
"In January, American Well Inc. went live with a Web service that allows patients to communicate with doctors via online video, text chat or phone. The doctors can view patient personal health records through Microsoft Corp.'s HealthVault and even prescribe medication over the Web. The service is currently available only in Hawaii through the Hawaii Medical Service Association, the Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliate in Hawaii. HMSA-insured patients pay $10 for a 10-minute visit; uninsured or non-member patients pay $45 for a 10-minute consultation."
