Mayo, Microsoft add Health Manager features

The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. and Microsoft have enhanced Mayo Clinic's Health Manager application with features to help users manage hypertension and high cholesterol.

The Mayo Clinic Health Manager is a free online application designed to help people manage their health. With the new features, users of the application have access to stress, blood pressure and cholesterol trackers, which will allow them to track and manage these conditions.

The updated Mayo Clinic Health Manager also includes new immunization enhancements. This functionality targets parents who not only need to accurately track their children's immunization list, but to understand what immunizations are needed and allow them to easily share the list with schools, sports camps and doctors.

Mayo Clinic Health Manager was launched last April and allows people to organize health information for themselves and their families in a single location for a lifetime. The data is stored in Microsoft HealthVault, that fim's online personal health record (PHR) application.

With generative AI coming into its own, AI regulators must avoid relying too much on principles of risk management—and not enough on those of uncertainty management.
