"The Health Guide is a step forward in offering more personalized and effective management of chronic health conditions in the home," said Louis Burns, vice president and general manager of the Intel Digital Health Group.

 

The days of the physician in the home is coming full circle with new technologies arriving, giving the physicians omnipresense .  As long as we can maintain our privacy, this technology aims to make our health care costs and our health in general much better.
