Microsoft HealthVault (2007–2019) was a web-based personal health record created by Microsoft, in October 2007, to store and maintain health and fitness information.[1][2][3][4] This website was for use by both individuals and healthcare professionals, and in June 2010, it expanded its services beyond the United States to include the United Kingdom.[5]

On April 5, 2019, Microsoft announced that effective November 20, 2019, HealthVault would be closed,[6] any data left in user accounts would be deleted, and any apps dependent on HealthVault for data would also stop working.[7][8]
