These are the KEY – features of future apps, so yes, i’m interested.
BUT 1: As stand-alone this product is innovative, yet has little value to me at this time. This could be leveraged enormously when coupled to a PHR/managing solution (for elderly and caregivers) and software to make computing easy for the elderly (maybe take a look at http://eldy.eu/)
BUT 2: In my personal situation I would not choose for this solutions in my carehome as it is a residential carehome with high care (and a high level of staff). Implementation would be interesting in to-be-build projects (even residential with high care) or new ventures as geriatric telehealth. Furthermore I suppose the implementation will not be feasible without government funding.
Hope this reply is valuable to you. If you would have further remarks/questions/opinions, …

Encouraging to hear of your support for this approach to building new devices and applications with Open Source tools, particularly since you are in the geriatric healthcare market.

So ques to you Bart: Do you see a company such as yours adopting and using Bug Labs via roll your own apps or will you wait until someone puts together a complete, compelling package targeting your industry and using Bug Labs?

I am convinced the the Lego – construction – model is a winner. This is the only way to guarantee flexibility, interoperability/connectivity, fast development, customization and general layout (user friendly) + design possibilities.
