ROCHESTER, MN – The Mayo Clinic, in partnership with Microsoft, has launched a free online application to help patients better manage their medical information.

Mayo Clinic Health Manager is powered by Microsoft HealthVault and provides a place to store medical information and receive real-time, individualized health guidance and recommendations based on the clinical expertise of the Mayo Clinic.

"As a physician, I truly appreciate when my patients are actively engaged and informed about their health," said Sidna Tulledge-Scheitel, MD, a primary care physician at the Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minn., and medical director of Mayo Clinic Global Products and Services. "Mayo Clinic Health Manager can help patients share information more easily with their doctors and manage their own health better between office visits."

Mayo Clinic Health Manager will include tools and features that help manage pediatric wellness, immunizations, adult wellness, pregnancy and asthma.

According to officials, additional features will be incorporated in the upcoming months that will help users manage Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. The Mayo Clinic and Microsoft also plan to add new functions and health guidance.

"Microsoft and Mayo Clinic came together because of our shared vision to help families take better care of their health," said David Cerino, general manager of the Consumer Health Solutions Group at Microsoft. "With Mayo Clinic Health Manager, we've combined the capabilities of Microsoft HealthVault with clinical leadership and health guidance from Mayo Clinic's vast body of medical knowledge to develop an interactive and customized health solution. It's a great match of technological innovation and health expertise that will help people live healthier lives."
