Microsoft will launch today a new version of its software to aggregate different electronic medical records, which is expected to ease the process of sharing information between patients and physicians. The software, called the Almaga Unified Intelligent System 2009, provides bi-directional integration with Microsoft's HealthVault, an online personal health record database where patients store and manage their health and wellness information. Microsoft's new software also will include a web interface so providers who are allowed to access information from Almaga can do so through a web portal. In addition, Microsoft has added features to the system, one of which allows images such as X-rays and MRIs to be stored. Article
