I don't want to launch into a sales pitch here, but I'm wondering if anyone has considered the parallels between secure data transmission for medical and financial purposes. I mention sales pitch because it just happens that we (Sagentia) developed the M-PESA mobile phone SMS-based financial transaction system for Vodafone (see http://www.vodafone.com/start/media_relations/news/group_press_releases/2007/safaricom_and_vodafone.html). We also develop medical devices (that's what I do). Coincidence? Hopefully a happy one! If anyone feels they'd like to talk to us about it I'd love to hear from them. Cormac Very interesting!

There is no doubt in my mind that the FDA is going to get involved in the whole iPhone Medical environment. It is just a matter of time and resources, and will be fueled by growth of the iPhone in the healthcare environment. I recently posted about this (http://tinyurl.com/LongArmFDA) on my website.
