I see it another way, its not just for the unwell or those with a condition, its also for the healthy, to track how they are doing, to see changes, so as to get an early warning of a possible condition, or of a diet change that is affecting the body. Ties in with fitness, and many take an interest in fitness, it would be great to see your body by numbers. Much better than waiting for pain or a condition to have developed. Weight might be easier to manage if the user can see the state of their body as well as weight. Motivating maybe?

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.
