Microsoft Pivot is an experimental new platform from Microsoft Labs that allows users to interact and visualize massive amounts of data.

Pivot garnered quite a bit of attention at the 2010 MIX conference, and attendees were apparently wowed by the elegant and engaging interaction model.

I can see numerous applications for this technology in my field of healthcare technology. Pivot could be used to track symptoms across thousands of patients, identifying trends, common side-effects, and adverse events. The application could also have use for processing and analyzing electronic medical records.

Check out the demo video here:

The Microsoft Pivot platform is a free download from Microsoft Labs. Worth a look!
