I fail to see why this shouldn't all be replaced by a personal mHealth solution...

I cannot see anything in this video which couldn't be implemented much more easily and at a much lower cost with a smartphone.

To my mind the Intel table top device would be more useful if it had a smaller form factor (eg like the touch screen iphone mobile) and could be taken with the patient and used to support continuous care particularly when a patient is out of the home.

The motion sensors would be much more effective if they tracked the patient constantly. A watch-like mobile (eg. the LG Watch Mobile) could offer this benefit and more (as we have seen with the success of the Vivatec wristcare devices/support services). The microphone on a mobile phone can easily be used to detect the sound of a door opening and would help us know exactly which patient was opening/passing which door in a shared home.

To put a system like this into every home would be ideal but prohibitively expensive and I think in these tough economic times we need to plan for that scale.
