We designed HealthVault to help people improve their health by enabling them to digitally store information and share it with healthcare professionals and third-parties, said David Cerino, general manager, Microsoft Health Solutions Group. With this partnership, we extend our HealthVault community to include a tool that allows people to better manage their oral health, an important aspect of overall wellness.

Dentists Management Corporation is the first solution provider to partner with Microsoft HealthVault, specifically focusing on oral health. Built on the HealthVault platform, Dental Optimizer allows patients to store information about their oral health and share it with caregivers. We hope that providing patients a means to easily share their information with both dentists and physicians, will lead to more coordinated and effective care, said Rachel Picado, director of informatics at ODS and one of the tool ™s creators. Dental health is integral to a patient ™s overall well-being.
