Pros: My Family Health Portrait is integrated with Microsoft Health Vault so information can be copied from Healthvault quickly. The application is free to use. This is a tool supplied by the Surgeon General.

Cons: Very little information is asked/maintained on the site. The dropdown menu for disease or condition only contains a dozen or so and many will have to be added manually (asthma, for example).

The Bottomline: This app may help track family history of genetic diseases, but is otherwise not useful as a PHR.
