Watch Like Device for At-Risk Patients

DigitalDame writes "At-risk patients will soon have a little help from a device worn on the wrist that can measure vital signs including pulse rate, cardiac rhythm (ECG or EKG), and blood oxygen levels. It can either store the data and transmit it to a medical center at a later time or, in the case of an emergency, transmit the information in real time using the built-in cellular phone while sending an alarm to a caregiver."

Your Sig:
Jesus saved me from my past.

So, if he saved you from your past, then your past didn't happen? What have you done with all that unused time?

Usually, what with time's arrow and all, people need saving in the present or future; but you needed saving from your past. Oh, I get it, your past had a will of it's own and it was victimizing you, creeping up into your present, and biting you on the ass. And Jesus saved you from that? What a guy.

patents != patients

Wow, it took me awhile to realize this wasn't a story about patents. I'm so used to seeing patent stories!

Almost read it wrong

I must admit when I first read this headline, I thought it said:

Watch Like Device for At-Risk Patents

My first thought was "You mean Microsoft can't patent the act of breathing? Maybe they'll try to patent this patent-watching device..."

Big difference than the actual headline, so I thought I'd post.
