Message: Nunchi on ColbertReport?

After reading today's Nunchi news, I was trying to envision Nunchi in action when it occurred to me that the guest on Colbert last night was showing off technology he had worked on that could be either an example of Nunchi or something that could be enhanced by Nunchi. The guest demonstrated an attachment to an iPhone that strapped the phone to your wrist and proceded to display your vital signs on the screen. Obviously, whatever data is collected by the phone can be uploaded and sent either to a doctor or a medical database for feedback, such as "take your bloodpressure medicine NOW".

And if we want to play the dot game, ...the guest was Dr. Eric Topol ...Dr. Topol works at the Scripps Institute ...Scripps is located in the beautiful city of San Diego ... San Diego...

Topol has been involved with wireless medicine since its inception. He was the first physician to serve on CardioNet's Medical Advisory Board in 1999, the first dedicated wireless medicine company that performs real-time ECG remote, continuous rhythm monitoring. In 2007 he joined the Board of Sotera Wireless that has developed the first continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring device, which also captures all vital signs. In 2008 he forged a new educational program with Qualcomm and Scripps Health to train physicians in wireless medicine, a 2 year clinician scholar program: STSI Wireless Health Scholar. At the 2009 International Wireless CTIA meeting, he gave the keynote address on wireless health, the first time this topic has ever been the subject of a CTIA plenary session: CTIA 2009 Keynote. Also in 2009, he served as Co-Founder with Gary and Mary West to form the West Wireless Health Institute that is dedicated to advancing health care and reducing costs through innovative wireless solutions. He is the Vice-Chairman of the Institute and its Chief Innovation Officer. He presented at TEDMED the rapid progress being made in this field: TEDMED 2009 Lecture. In addition, in early 2010 Topol gave a wireless medicine presentation at the Consumer Electronic Show: CES 2010 Keynote Highlight. He led the first trial with the GE Vscan device GE Reports, a pocket high resolution, mobile ultrasound imaging device, introduced in the US in 2010 "The Doctor Will ā€œeā€ You Now" and is currently leading clinical trials of heart rhythm and heart failure monitoring wireless devices.
