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.

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.

The groups initial sponsor was Mike Kirkwood, a new Identity Steward, who has been participating in IIW and Health 2.0 group. The group is also being guided by Drummond Reed's strong background in XDI and Dean Landsman experience in user centricity. The group is focused on using technology fuse health into identity and to preserve the person's voice and control.

Many voices are working for health and this group is focused on enabling a networked document standard for transporting health information using a person point of control.
