Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Ordered new phone

There is an entire industry devoted to calorie counting and diet planning. The estimation of carbs and other stuff in food items is one area of work.

Your comment seems to indicate that wedding planners and divorce lawyers are redundant since every one may get married only once in his life time and may never divorce.

Many smart watches monitors sleep patterns but I have rarely seen a person seeking monitoring of his sleep through a qualified physician or going to a hospital and sleeping there overnight. There is so much more which we need to understand about human bodies in general and our own body in particular. More true in case of longer life span and need to maintain quality of life at ever increasing age.

  How important is remote monitoring of health variables?  A number is only one piece of a person's overall health.

  Most people simply have a physical in an office once a year.  They rarely need more.

  A statistically tiny number of people have a real need for this - perhaps most importantly diabetics.  But this health-monitoring industry is aiming at everyone.  Seems to me much mote a passing fad than something groundbreaking.
