Sean,

Thanks for the clarification. As a former Intel employee from DHeG who was busy recruiting fitness companies to join Continua, I'd heard many rumors, but this is the most concise response that I've read.

Further, based upon the successful connectivity by many of the companies who DID join Continua yet also function with WPD, I think MSHV has done a great job of displaying real world connectivity.

It's an exciting time. Technological, political (well, at least a few), and personal barriers continue to fall, thus enabling better personal health management through new products and services.

HealthVault, Dossia, and Google Health with their remote device monitoring will play an important role in not just managing at home or skilled nursing faciity patients, hospice or home care patients, but as or even more important, the walking healthy or those with conditions such as hypertension, COPD, Diabetes,obesity to monitor and be monitored on a daily basis in their normal environment. Many patients have not been monitored in this manner. The daily readings would seamlessly be integrated into their EMR for evaluation on their next doctor visit, and if critical would set off a warning at the doctor's office.
