From Medgadget:
Because all that kids have to do is whistle, something they seem to already love, compliance might improve significantly. We’ll certainly see if that’s the case once the device becomes available, as promised by digiDoc sometime later this year.
Simply genius
Cramer: I know that the car, the home — do you think of them as connectivity, social mobile cloud connectivity — do you think of them as the next frontiers, or is there a frontier that I am missing, I’m not thinking big enough.
Cook: Well I think those two are big ones, that you talked about, I think health may be the biggest one of all, because for years people have depended on, strictly, somebody else to determine their health and now these devices in essence empower people to manage and track their own health and fitness. And so I think that market is probably significantly underestimated.

Stanford University researchers were stunned when they awoke Tuesday to find that 11,000 people had signed up for a cardiovascular study using Apple Inc.’s ResearchKit, less than 24 hours after the iPhone tool was introduced. “To get 10,000 people enrolled in a medical study normally, it would take a year and 50 medical centers around the country,” said Alan Yeung, medical director of Stanford Cardiovascular Health. “That’s the power of the phone.”
With the announcement of ResearchKit, Apple is trying to disrupt epidemiology. I think they’ll succeed.
The system, called amPHI , is capable of storing and sharing patients’ vitals and data during transport to hospital, enabling all involved staff to monitor developments in the patient’s condition and prepare to continue treatment at the hospital. This ensures optimum clinical pathways, faster diagnostics and more effective treatment. amPHI is wireless and have shown great results since being installed in all ambulances in North Denmark Region in 2006.
One of the new initiatives is real-time transmission of patients’ medical records directly onto big screens in the rooms, enabling patients to see what the doctor writes in their record and ask questions or clarifications.
