Actaully there are a lot of elderly people that refuse or can't afford the care they need.
If for what ever reason they are living away from a doctor and using a internet connection for monitoring I would call that critcal.
If broadband speeds get better there could be a lot of enhancements in the area of home care. 1 nurse could monitor video feeds from homes of multiple people, VOIP communications, etc.
All I'm saying is think outside the box. -- Folding for our future!! |

| While I do agree that it is possible (i.e. basic web cam, portable devices such as a blood/sugar monitor, pulse monitor, etc) where you could upload a day's worth of stats for review. I wouldn't expect a hospital to have anything less than a 10Mbps or better (most likely DS-3) for voice and data. Customer can not be considered stable while there are issues with companies adding filters, nebudad or caps on consumption. -- Canada = Hollywood North |
