About the Logo Program:
The Works with Microsoft HealthVault Device Logo Program is designed to build customer awareness around HealthVault, enable consumers to identify devices that are compatible with HealthVault, and ensure a positive user experience. Manufacturers that certify their devices can benefit by:
- Leveraging the trusted Microsoft brand
- Minimizing their support costs by passing tests specifically designed for HealthVault Connection Center compatibility
- Listing their devices and drivers in the HealthVault Device Directory and the HealthVault Connection Center driver list
- Becoming eligible for joint marketing opportunities

What's New in V1.20
Here are some of the highlights. For more details, please read the v1.20 requirements and test instructions.
- There have been several packaging requirements added so the user has proper guidance on how to create a HealthVault account, download HealthVault Connection Center, Install the driver, Setup the device, Take a measurement, and upload the data to HealthVault.
- If the device ships with non-HealthVault software, it must not create a conflict with the HealthVault experience
- Compatibility with XP, Vista, Vista 64 bit, and Windows 7 (when released)
- The driver must populate a display override field if it is required to ensure HealthVault.com displays the same units as the device
- Driver must send events if there is new data available while the device is connected so there is no need to unplug/plug the cable to upload the new data
- The driver package now needs to be code signed
- A self test check list has been added to help prepare for submission
