I just bought a blood pressure monitor today as I am going to be taking advantage of some of the VA's Tele-Health options now that I have moved out to a few blocks east of the middle of nowhere. This device can connect to the Microsoft health vault. It's a free online service that lets you store medical data and has "connectors" for various devices (like my blood pressure monitor, One Touch glucose meters (one of the more advanced meters that the VA doesn't use grr), etc) as well as health sites like the Mayo Clinic health manager. It even works with the VA's MyHealtheVet website's new BlueButton feature that allows you to dl a listing of all your meds, appointments, lab results, etc. has anyone else used this? I think it is pretty cool and really goes in the right direction as far as were we need to go with medical records. Imagine a system where you doctor can access all of your records from his computer.or if he is a techie.from his tablet or iPhone/Android (I do have to give props to the iPhone for the bant application for diabetes management.I wish that was on the droid. I do give credit where credit is due grumble grumble.) to see your medical history and med.or if you are travelling and you get sick or injured and you are in the ER.docs there can access your records as well via the internet. Cool shit ;-) I just wish my glucose meter worked with it. Much to my endocrinologists chagrin.I can never remember to grab my meter or the results when I go for an appointment with her. This would be an awesome way to be able to get her the info she needs and not have to worry about remembering shit. Scary thing is I am only 43 and I am already forgetting stuff.ah it's going to be fun getting old.
