Peaksware In Good Company at SXSW 2008 with Microsoft's HealthVault

Joshua Rosenthal, Ph.D. reports for ReadWriteWeb in an article titled, Health Care at SXSW - Health Getting Hot With Tech Crowd (March 15, 2008) that Michael Kennedy, a Microsoft employee specializing in hospital and insurance systems mentioned Peaksware's software www.TrainingPeaks.com in the very good company of a short list of recommended applications compatible with Microsoft's HealthVault.

Microsoft's Michael Kennedy was one of two speakers on a panel at SXSW 2008 in mid March. As part of his discussion on the topic, 'Transforming Hospital Systems: The Digital Future of Healthcare', Kennedy described a few of the applications and products that will truly transform healthcare using new technology. In particular, Kennedy discussed Peaksware's web based application TrainingPeaks saying that Peaksware's software is for anyone from "the workout junky [to the] person interested in being generally fit".

As Peter Neupert, corporate vice president for the Health Solutions Group at Microsoft said when HealthVault was officially launched in October of 2007, “[TrainingPeaks]*, built on the HealthVault platform, is helping us deliver on the promise of connecting and improving healthcare.” Read all about the HealthVault launch and Peaksware's product compatibility on the TrainingPeaks blog as well as on the Microsoft website.

*Peaksware's FitnessPeaks brand was initially a separate application built specifically for the partnership with Microsoft, the parent brand TrainingPeaks now has the same compatibility and with its much broader application to the fitness, endurance, health and medical audience the two brands have been merged into just TrainingPeaks.
