I like the aesthetic, but I didn't see anything particularly insightful here. Yes, we're working on P2P networks to augment existing networks, and functionality is constantly moving into the cloud. But having a human doctor monitor your vitals 24/7 remotely? Replacing emergency responders' communication devices with those flimsy video chat things? I'm not convinced.
Also, it really bugged me that the woman had wireless medical sensors in her clothing, but no cell phone or equivalent.
