I just realized that we're all going to have 24/7 health monitoring in the near future. The field of bioinformatics is moving rapidly into new domains. The next Bluetooth standard will allow monitoring via body sensors like this BodyBugg through electronic devices such as phones and tablets, and from there it's a short leap to your hospital or doctor to get a second opinion (the first opinion for all things medical is usually Google).
Now we'll all have lots more reasons to panic about our health:
"OMG, did you just see that heart palpitation? Oh! There's another one! I'm dead for sure!"
