For hypochondriacs (and the elderly)

So check it out, it's this little device, a little bigger than a thimble or a little smaller than a shot glass. It has a USB cord which you plug into your computer. You open a program that comes with the device and then stick your finger in this thimble/ shot glass thing. Wait a few seconds and you'll get your temperature, pulse, blood cell count, and whatever other useful information you need or is available.

Maybe it could tell you if the medication you're taking is present enough in your blood? How cool would that be? So there would be a little finger prick that would need to happen. Unless it was high-tech enough to do it through sweat. Anyway...

And the software catalogs it all.

Think of it as a mini-physical you could do daily. Or hourly.

This is less important for some people, obviously, but people with serious medical conditions might like to know this stuff. And keep a record of it.

And maybe the software automatically sends a summary to your doctor every month so you wouldn't have to anaylze it. He'd be able to look for trends or red flags and you'd never even have to go visit.

Less people in doctor's offices means less colds and flus getting based around and more time for the doctor to work on you.
