If my doctor told me to buy an iWatch and that required an iPhone. I would probably do it. If my doctor told me to spend $1,200-$1,500 on two devices I have to carry around all the time when I could instead spend $300 on a smartwatch and/or download an app to use in conjunction with my existing phone, I would change doctors.
Most of the development in the medical area will come from the apps, not the hardware, as the biometrics can be easily performed by a wide variety of hardware, cheaply. The integration of the data with databases, sharing it, etc., where the real benefits will be. Software, not hardware, handles that. |
