Personal Healthcare Products: This is what the future looks like.

Hopefully they're using an approved non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) device like the SunTech module.

The built-in ability to e-mail results to family or a physician seems useful, but posting your blood pressure on Facebook or Twitter?  I don't know...
