Apple’s new tech fits in very neatly with work being done by Toumaz Technology in London (intelligent sensors on plasters, using bodywave to transmit – http://www.toumaz.com/) and t+medical’s mobile phone health monitoring, which was on trial across the UK a couple of months back (http://www.tplusmedical.co.uk/?lang=EN). Have a look at this article wot I wrote. Both companies are worth watching for medical innovation with micro-scale devices, but especially Toumaz.

The sensor thing is a wonderful development… but for the vast majority who don’t have diabetes and aren’t going to use their phone to check their cholesterol, cut and paste is more useful. Specialized sensors do even worse on the public radar… even if you can interpret spectroscopy and particulates results, you’re still going to want cut and paste to put them where you want them; meanwhile, most people have no clue what such things *are* let alone what they’re for or why they could be more important than c&p.

Wake me when they package the whole thing in a convenient size; I have too much junk in my pockets already.

Not be be a big wet ubi-blanket or anything, but I cut-and-paste about eight hundred times a day.

Exciting stuff! Three people yesterday suggested we make an nfc shell for iphpne!

But i looked at this with @Cottam today, and it looks like the licensing agreements for hardware are quite restrictive, you have to be part of Apple’s approved ‘for iPod’ accessory programme. Which might make the hackability of this end a bit more difficult.
