I just had a revelation, I think we are all on the wrong track on what this will be. I don't think it has anything to do with the casual consumer. What if they made a diagnostic device that sends vitals to an iPad or iphone of the attending doctor and sends notifications to everyone hooked into the app when something goes critical and can not only track vitals but through the epidermis, sweat and body excrements like oils on the skin test for disease or toxicity. Instead of taking blood for sampling they slap on this wristband/watch and it sends all that chemical info to the lab for further analysis. This would speed up the diagnostic process and also make patient care "live" where your doctor gets your stats and knows your condition just by looking at his iPad.
This makes complete sense in context of Steve Jobs sickness in his last years...

This sounds great! Earlier today I revisited the Prime Sense Web site to review medical/robotic information that had been on the site. All of the information had been removed. Oh well.
I remembered iRobot was one of Prime Sense's partners focused on building robots in the manufacturing and medical fields. The robots are named as follows...
iRobot Ava 500 Video Collaboration Robot -- iRobot Ava 500 brings together iRobot’s autonomous robotic mobility platform with the Cisco TelePresence EX Series personal system to deliver a new level of collaboration for office environments and other facilities. http://www.irobot.com/us/learn/commercial/ava500.aspx
RP-VITA Remote Presence Robot -- RP-VITA is the first remote presence solution for patient care that combines the latest in autonomous navigation and mobility from iRobot with the latest in telemedicine technology from InTouch Health. http://www.irobot.com/us/learn/commercial/rpvita.aspx
Does the FDA require years of testing for medical devices like it does drugs to ensure that it is safe for the public? I don't see how a medical iWatch can be released this year.
Any experts here on how the FDA approval process works ?
The Food & Drug Administration does not require any testing for Class II medical devices which is the likely classification of the supposed iWatch based on the various rumors of offering integrated glucose, oxygen saturation and pulse monitoring. However, Class II medical devices must typically have a 510k Premarket Approval (PMA) submission prior to release of the device. A 510k PMA may require six months or more dependent upon many factors although the purpose of the 510k is to establish substantial equivalency with existing products.
