This start up looks like a potential reason for the FDA to now join in the PHR/EHR crowd, which we somewhat have been expecting, but I’ll bet they didn’t expect this! I guess in the future I can be chewing on Google Health and HealthVault with data integration if this proceeds as most have done...

I talk quite a bit about medical devices that report data and send text messages here and the need for proper implementation.

Earlier this year the company created a blue tooth chair scale for those who have problems standing on a scale. As mentioned in the article, many insurance companies are not reimbursing for the use of such devices that report data, but there are some, such as CareMore in California who are. ...
