The personal health record used with VeriMed Health Link system will be accessible through Microsoft® HealthVault. If you decide to take the 
plunge, well you can add your records to the HealthVault. I’ll stay with my normal HealthVault account for now.
Implantable VeriChip and Microsoft HealthVault PHR link information
Dr. Halamka at Harvard Medical is the only one I have read about who has the chip and he offers additional information at his blog, Life as a Healthcare CIO. I have to say when it comes to offering “first hand” information on technology, healthcare devices, HIE, Health IT, he’s at the top of the list, as chances are if he’s talking about it, he’s done it, thus offers some of the best information available. He was also one of the first 10 volunteers to participate in the Personal Human Genome project and you can read more here on that topic.

Here’s a video from 2007 with Dr. Halamka, who has been chipped and talks about it. The downside of the chip is that the hospital needs to be equipped with the device that can read it and I don’t know how many have this device. When the chip first came out I heard a lot of mixed reactions and mine too was mixed and it appears now the move for online records with a PHR is strong, but who knows where we will be in a couple years from now.
