Watch this: 1) Price of devices is dropping, and they now are all coming with Bluetooth 2) Mobile penetration is skyrocketing and costs are dropping 3) New SaaS-based patient management systems developed on business process management platforms provide low-cost, virtually zero upfront investment and the ability via web services to connect it all. http://pshealth.co.uk/
