The initial news on HealthVault led many to believe that HealthVault is a PHR end product. Microsoft's HealthVault however is not a "PHR", but rather a "PHR platform" with a set of back-end services for secure storage, retrieval and sharing of healthcare information. These services can be used by a developer to actually build what we may describe as a "classic PHR".

I agree with this comment. A great deal of misunderstanding exists between Google, Dossia, and Healthvault. They are building data respository tools. It is like buying a safety deposit box at a bank. No specific function other than storage and designated access.
