I'm sceptical, since Google Health never quite caught on. There's room for improvement, certainly, but the regulatory requirements for mixing health and tech, and the externalities of dealing with vendors' proprietary formats will make this challenging at best.
- psbp 13y agoThis doesn't seem like a Google Health type service.
- cbhl 13y agoEven if it's more like Thalmic Labs or 23andMe, I'm worried about whether fundamental infrastructure (or a leap-frogging equivalent, like cell phones) will be widespread enough for this sort of research/work to be useful to the people who need it most. Like, there are feel-good stories like Dean Kamen's Slingshot (IIRC, he partnered with Coca-Cola to distribute the things) but I have absolutely no idea how well such things work in the field and the papers written about things like the Roundabout PlayPump are pretty damning.
