Google Health shutdown spurs debate over PHR viability

This is unfortunate news, but unsurprising. PHRs aren’t going to catch on until tracking personal health data is a near zero-commitment job, and right now it’s an uphill battle to wrench that data its traditional keepers. As noted in the article, it’s a concept that’s just a little ahead of it’s time.

I only hope that this setback doesn’t keep them from trying again sometime in the future.
