History
Health is a unique use case of the internet identity, it has special because of the privacy and sharing requirements of the data.

Many individuals have a keen interest in how Health plays out using the internet and the web. Mike Kirkwood has been attending the IIW and Data Sharing Summits to get grounded in the identity space. After attending Health 2.0, and becoming part of the Health 2.0 Accelrator, he started this group to merge the concepts of user-centric-identity and Health information.

This group was started to focus on taking the document and data standards of the Health community and packaging them on behalf of a user in their user-centric identity, and create a working stack to share with the community and evolve as group.
