Siemens launches Assignio PHR

Microsoft and Siemens Health have announced the launch of Assignio, a health platform based on Microsoft’s HealthVault Microsoft technology.

The Assignio platform, which is aimed at the German market, was launched at Medica in Dusseldorf, Germany, this week.

The platform, which will be operated and marketed by Siemens IT Solutions, marks a change in the way individuals can approach their health and wellness and will steer the German health sector in a new direction.

By introducing HealthVault to the German market Siemens will help bridge the information gap between citizens and the professional medical and healthcare organisations that they interact with on an on-going basis.

HealthVault is a personal health platform that provides a secure repository for people to record data on their health & wellness, ranging across exercise regularity, diet management, weight monitoring, temperature and blood pressure monitoring.

Anyone using Assignio will be able to manage their own health and the health of their families and will be able to store data and easily share this with doctors, hospitals and pharmacies.
