I remember just a couple years ago Microsoft and Google both had "health" portals that would allow you to aggregate data from various providers. After some time though it became clear that doctors and insurance companies were to beholden to their own products to allow such a platform to aggregate results. Thus the platform failed as not enough opportunity was given. And to quote this article: http://mobihealthnews.com/11480/10-reasons-why-google-health-failed http://mobihealthnews.com/11480/10-reasons-why-google-health... "As much as we’d like to think it isn’t the case, the fundamental driver of most (not all) behavior in healthcare is the reimbursement scheme... To understand the impact, I’ll exaggerate to make a point—your healthcare provider doesn’t care about you unless they can see the whites of your eyes. Why is that? Today’s flawed reimbursement scheme only compensates the healthcare provider for a face to face visit." Thus until a broken model of healthcare is fixed in many many ways we will be stuck in the same old model for years to come.
