While the Microsoft Surface Table has been slow to hit major markets since its launch in 2007, the product offers plenty of promise for medical and healthcare applications.

A couple of examples:

VitraView by InterKnowlogy
This application allows doctors and patients to review surgical procedures, document procedures, and personalized medical information pulled from Microsoft Healthvault. Developed by Interknowlogy.

Patient Consultations on MS Surface
Developed by Infusion, this tool provides a platform that facilitates patient and healthcare provider communications during medical consultations. The app was named as one of the 11 Killer Apps for Microsoft Surface by Fast Company.

Kudos to Microsoft for launching a new free personal energy management service-Microsoft Hohm.

The new app (still in beta) allows you create a customized energy report based on your home profile, geographic benchmarks, types of appliances you use and more. This is an interesting and potentially useful service; it’s great to see Microsoft providing these web services free to users.

The data entry process is daunting! I was surprised at how little I knew about the heating and energy attributes of my condo…but perhaps that’s one of the points of this new service.
