There has been a lot of technology in medicine and other fields (especially computers & the internet) that has pointed to more medical data capture in home. At an affordable cost after economies of scale are introduced.
The PiiX is a good example. How low do you think the costs can get if they are delivering a million or two units a year?
The same with a device that captures EKG strips and hooks up to the patient's computer or smartphone.
Looking at the "advanced medical data capture devices" now used in the home (BP devices and glucose meters) it's easy to project future expansion. This heart monitor is simply another good step.
Hopefully one side effect of our recent health care reform will be the expansion of the use of these devices, and expansion of the array of devices available.
