I believe that Eric is saying that Stayhealthy has not built its business model around e-commerce. The company has also not factored in advertising.
The release of today shows that the ability to use the infrastructure of the internet has allowed Stay to build a unique low cost solution to hitherto unavailable regular monitoring of ones physical state.Once a person has signed on there exists the opportunity to further service them with products, information and so on. The Pharmerica release describes this in better detail.
The product sales therefore are gravy and are no more than a value add for the consumer. Will the commerce section stay as it is. No an earlier announcement detailed how the company has a signed agreement with Bergen Brunswig to make available their products. A good example of what will be available is found at more.com.
So to end off. Commerce is not a large play.
