Some of this stuff is very forward-leaning, and because it can mix and match between fitness and non-fitness data, some impressive possibilities emerge. This means that Microsoft Health will provide useful insights immediately-your resting heart rate over time, which is a true measure of your metabolic rate, for example-but will also get more impressive over time as you continue populating it with data and as its capabilities expand. But the big deal is that machine learning piece. It's extensible via various other services, of course, including HealthVault but also non-fitness data sources. Microsoft Health is a new platform, a cloud service that uses Azure-based machine learning technology to analyze data collected from wearable health and fitness devices-of which Microsoft Band is just the first-and then reports that analysis and raw tracking data back to users via a Microsoft Health mobile app on Android, iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Windows Phone. And these offerings are, collectively, among Microsoft's most misunderstood. This new health service sits alongside and is complementary to Microsoft's other health and fitness services. While the new Microsoft Band has triggered more excitement than I had expected, that excitement has also served to deemphasize the real news, which is Microsoft Health.
