The effective delivery of such a system requires the complex issues of interoperability, privacy, security, governance, information ownership, information sharing and functionality to be address.  This is an important isssue for Australia and many other countries.  This discussion topic is intended to discuss the issues and opoprtunities around the delivery of a personal health record.

As a starter, have a look at sites like:

There is lots of activity in this area.  A huge amount is focused on the WII, but there are a growing number of professional products.  If you are interested you should have a look at http://www.exergamefitness.com/ or just google exergaming.
