    @FrankenPC: No kidding. What if grandpa's house doesn't get a good signal? I wouldn't want tax dollars spent sending me an ambulance every time I walk into a 3 story building or be charged an overage fee for using my hearts connection to download old-people porn.

    Wonderful news. Some people who have medical issues tend to ignore the signs when something is going on (denial is wonderful) and this will make the information quickly available to not only doctors, but hopefully concerned loved ones who will then make sure the patient takes care of the problem.
    Do you hear me Dad? See if you can hide it now!

    "My life is hell since they installed this thing." That's what the man told me about his pacemaker. He tried to describe why having one's heart beat never change its pace, sleeping, waking, exercising, was sheer agony. Medical advances, to me, often seem like exquisite ways to torture humans in their final days. Anybody no anyone whose quality of life was acceptable following this sort of Frankenstien tinkering?

    @PaddyDugan: Modern pacemakers have "sensors" built in to increase your heart rate when you are active in order to match the increased oxygen consumption of the body. Most also have rest rates that will detect when you sleep and decrease the rate. For many pacemaker patients the "quality" of life without a pacemaker would be "a lack thereof."

    Great that's all I need, to keel over dead while screaming over and over about "Pen 1s Enlargement!!!1!"
    There was a time when the idea of net enabled implants was a really cool idea, but that was before we discovered spam, malware, spyware, etc... Now, no way in hell.

    What would really be awesome is having this functionality in the iPhone/iPod Touch. Of course Apple will NEVER allow it.
