This is a great day for Microsoft and consumers, the long awaited HealthVault platform launches today.

You can read the press release that highlights the consumer health vision and announces the great industry support and partners.

This follows closely the release of HealthVault Search of last week.

Expect to see a lot of buzz around this in the next following days as the search engines start picking this up.

For partners and developers we also launched a dedicated Microsoft HealthVault Developer Center.
