The HRS-I is a small (30mm x 30mm x 5mm) lightweight (7g) device that adheres to your chest and relays the data it collects to a computer or mobile phone via wireless connection. While the HRS-I only directly monitors electrocardiograph information, body surface temperature, and movement (via accelerometers), it can connect to sensors for heart rate, brain waves, respiration and many other important health indicators. WIN is selling the HRS-I for around &yen;30,000 (~$330) and providing monitoring software for around &yen;10,000 (~$110)."</i></htmltext>

It is a small jump to use these devices to "report your mileage" to the health insurance companies for a reduced fee.  Mark this comment people, in a few years....</htmltext>

Monitor your heartrate, adreneline levels, etc... and both display any warning messages via your optical nerve as well as dispensing drugs to counter any problems pro-actively.

'You have a fever and an ear infection, dispensing anti-biotics in appropriate dosage'. Or, 'irregular heart rate detected, contact medical help immediately, ready to upload data'.

This is the first time i've seen something even close to that for the consumer. Tie the software into your mobile device to page you when it detects irregularities and all that is left is dispensing the drugs. We'll need tort reform in the US of A before that part is ready but we will someday get there.

<sentencetext>This was done 11 years ago but, due to the technology of the time, we used a device a little larger than a modern smart phone that recorded information.
It plugged into a base station to transfer data over POTS.
Once the base station connected to a medical facility over the telephone, information could be sent in real time from the device.
It could do ECG, blood oximetry, heart rate, core body temperature and respiration.
The base station could take blood pressure, oral temperature and weight.
It all worked well.Lawyers got involved and the system, along with the company, disappeared.
