Since its start in 2007, Chilmark Research has kept a fairly low profile as analyst firms go, focusing on a few discrete domains of healthcare IT (HIT). First there was patient and consumer engagement that led to the publication of our first report on Personal Health Records (PHRs). That first research effort led to a [...]

Stepping in Where Google Health Left Off

A little over a week ago Google stated that it was putting a stake through the heart of their personal health platform (PHP) Google Health. We at Chilmark had been expecting this for some time, it was just a manner of when it would become official. Thus, we were somewhat taken aback by all the [...]
RIP Google Health

Chilmark Research has not had a very good feeling about Google Health for well over a year now. Back in early May of this year we felt that Google had all but given up and had put Google Health in stasis. Today, Google made it official, Google Health has a little more than six months [...]
Google Health Put in Stasis
Posted in consumer health, Google, Google Health, PHR on May 9, 2011 | 17 Comments »
About a year ago we posted a piece that basically summed up Google Health as on its death bed. Google, of course was quick to defend itself saying that Google Health was very much alive and well. We even had a long conversation with the senior leadership of Google Health who told us they were [...]
Why Apple iPad will Dominate in the Enterprise

Ok, before I even begin, let me put it right out there: I’ve been using Apple products since I first got my hands on one of those cute little Mac SEs in the late 80′s having given up my spanking, brand new Compaq 386 with 64kb of RAM and a dual 3.5 & 5.25 floppy [...]
On the PHR Front…

Activity is really heating up here at Chilmark Research. But all that activity is making it difficult to follow all of the changes that are taking place in the market. Let me correct that, not so hard to follow, extremely hard to find the time to write about within the context of these posts. Thus, [...]
Google Hits Reset Button on Google Health

Google Health has seemingly been stuck in neutral almost from the start. Despite the fanfare of Google’s Eric Schmidt speaking at the big industry confab, HIMSS a couple of years back, an initial beta release with healthcare partner Cleveland Clinic and a host of partners announced once the service was opened to the public in [...]
A Bite of the Apple

Yesterday, with much fanfare, Steve Jobs took the stage at Apple’s annual developer conference and announced the pending release of the next iteration of the iPhone. While there has been plenty of press regarding this release, both before (and Apple’s Dark Lord tactics) and after, Job’s presentation also highlighted a number of facts and figures [...]
Google’s Irrelevancy Leading to Demise?

Since its initial launch to much fanfare, Google Health has struggled to be relevant. Since its formal launch in May 2008, Google Health has not dedicated the resources to build out this platform into a truly engaging ecosystem of applications to assist the consumer in managing their health or the health of a loved one.

CCD Standard Gaining Traction, CCR Fading
Posted in Google, Google Health, HIE, HL 7, tagged CCD, CCR, CDA, HIT standards on February 17, 2010 | 9 Comments »
In a number of interviews with leading HIE vendors, it is becoming clear that the clinical standard, Continuity of Care Document (CCD) will be the dominant standard in the future. The leading competing standard, Continuity of Care Record (CCR) appears to be fading with one vendor stating that virtually no client is asking for CCR [...]
