    Hi Roberto, I'm really excited about this new offering. Initially after reading the announcement, I thought HealthVault was a PHR. However, after spending some time with the SDK and other materials, its clear that HealthVault is really a back-end service to enable applications to manage personal health data in a secure manner with the patient controlling the access. I have spent some time blogging my initial impressions and plan to play around with some of the SDK samples. Mark Singh
