As a doctor i have still yet not come across any such research being carried out or any trials taking place, BUT i would love to see some basic features in our present day mobile devices. 1. We have a lot of Diabetic Cases around the globe and incorporating a Glucose Monitor that would check the persons HB1Ac Glucose levels would work wonders. this would help many patients to keep their blood glucose levels within normal limits. 2. The ability to vibrate can be used as a massage tool. help in physiotherapy units. 3. Pill Reminder software which would have a programmed clock that would ALERT the person to take his/her medicine on time. something like the appointment reminder, but we need this with integration with the hospital computers too. 4. The BT headset can be also programmed to be used as a hearing aid for people who have hearing defects. and i have a lot more ideas ingrowing within me for a long time now, just waiting for Nokia Pilots start and i will submit my registration and keep fingers crossed that i get selected. dont know if they are possible or not but still why share them with you hoping they would come alive someday. the one that i feel can be put to practice right away is the first one. hope to hear from you guys. regards, Dr. Anirudh Sharma Hi Mike,
