Motohealth uses FDA-approved body sensors to transmit data about the patient's condition to the healthcare provider via the patient's Motorola mobile phone. This discreet way of monitoring patients may replace in-home monitoring devices, giving chronic disease patients more independence to continue their daily activities outside their homes."</i><br /><br />Nice. I would love to see more solutions like this. Smart and innovative ideas that break the mold of traditional services. Why can't we see more time and energy spent on things like this instead of ways to break Bluetooth profiles forcing users to pay high transfer rates just to download pictures they snapped. :roll:
