Online health records is a rapidly growing segment of the health 2.0 world—
Google Health, Microsoft's
HealthVault, WebMD, Aetna’s SmartSource (via a
partnership with Healthline), and
Revolution Health (now
part of Waterfront Media), are just a few of the many online platforms that let consumers organize their health records online in a secure portal.
In a space where you are competing with prestigious medical institutions and platforms backed by the largest tech companies in the world, there's not much room for the small, bootstrapped startup. Unfortunately,
miVitals, an Australia-based startup that provides an online storage platform for consumer health records, will be shutting its doors in mid-May due to lack of funding. miVitals, which was primarily financed by angel investors, is a free service that let you store medical records, manage accounts for your family, schedule appointments, and share this information with your health care professionals.
