Both HealthVault and some HealthVault-enabled offer means of giving to others access to health information in your PHR. They may include family members, personal caregivers, healthcare providers, and even HealthVault-enabled apps.
In HealthVault you can share access to with specific persons, and customize the information each will be able to access. You begin my clicking on Sharing on the PHR home page. You will see who has what type of access to your information, and will, by clicking the blue button, be able to Share health information with someone you trust.
