PharmaSURVEYOR has announced the integration of their Advanced Drug Safety service with Microsoft HealthVault.
The tool is designed to show users not only drug-drug interactions but also the adverse drug side effects. HealthVault users will be able to run a survey of medications stored in their HealthVault account, and PharmaSURVEYOR users will be able to easily create a HealthVault account to store their medications.
Erick Von Schweber, Executive Co-Chair of PharmaSURVEYOR, said: PharmaSURVEYOR is proud to join the growing ecosystem of services connected by HealthVault.
For example, a consumer can download a family member’s medications to HealthVault from their pharmacy, run an Advanced Drug Safety survey of those medications and search for any symptoms they’re having in PharmaSURVEYOR. Their safety survey will reveal which of their symptoms may actually be side effects, the medications that are more likely causing these and possible substitute drugs that can reduce their risk. The Advanced Drug Safety survey can be used in collaboration with their doctor to identify and diagnose those problems and get them resolved, he added.
