On the HealthVault website, http://www.healthvault.com, a user can create an account using an existing Windows Live ID, Facebook, or OpenID account, or choose to create a new Windows Live ID. Figure 1-2 shows the sign-up screen for HealthVault.
HealthVault is currently publicly available in the United States and United Kingdom. You can create an account by entering basic demographic information and proof of human-computer interaction.
When a new user signs into HealthVault, he is greeted with a new user wizard that enables him to select tasks and allows him to connect to various services (Figure 1-3).
