To your point about process, none of these systems will provide a blicking red light that says "you have a quality problem here." They require engineers, product experts, to look at the output and assess what action to t...

That's something I'm more than a little worried about though. While I can see the benefits would be huge with having masses of consistently recorded data on a patient, where is that being stored? How secure is it? Will the...

I really like this idea. There are so many small companies or individuals who would love to be part of NASA but it's not like they can be bought up or absorbed by the administration. When we have the likes of...
