INTRODUCTION
This article describes how to share health records with another trusted Microsoft HealthVault account for use by HealthVault applications.



MORE INFORMATION
Assume that you want to share some of your health records with another trusted HealthVault account that will use a HealthVault application to examine the data. To do this, you must share all the health information that is required by the HealthVault application for the application to run correctly. For example, a diabetes program may require your blood glucose data and your weight data to correctly analyze the information.

Additionally, you must grant the trusted HealthVault account a sharing access level that is greater than or equal to the access level that is required by the HealthVault application. For example, if the diabetes program requires a View and modify level of access to create new exercise logs, the trusted HealthVault account will require a level of sharing access greater than or equal to View and modify to share your health records with the HealthVault application.

Important Some information that is stored in your health records may be highly sensitive. Therefore, you have to consider carefully with whom you share the information. If you are considering sharing the information with a HealthVault application, refer to the privacy statements of the individual HealthVault application for information about the application’s privacy policies. Determine how your information will be used by the application.
