The leading consumer healthcare technology platform iTriage® today announced an integration of Microsoft HealthVault personal healthcare record (PHR) into its iPhone mobile application.

As the world's leader in Symptom-to-Provider^TM pathway technology, iTriage has been touted by ABC News as the one-stop health app that allows patients to not only know what's wrong with them, but also know where to go for treatment.

All those who have used iTriage to access Google Health PHR from mobile devices should know that Google Health is being discontinued for viewing, entering or editing data on January 1, 2012.
