Bonus if they're actually useful. Double bonus for life-saving stuff. Winners all around. My pleasure, I love this type of stuff, i.e. cool uses for technology. Bonus if they’re actually useful.

They monitor patient weight carefully using bluetooth-enabled scales and require patients to weigh themselves several times per day. Obviously, it can be defeated by just weighing a sack of potatoes, but most patients want to live, so that's not likely. Anyway, doctors and caregivers can monitor patient weight and address any sudden unexpected changes. One other interesting thing about this environment is that it is built entirely on Windows servers running on VMWare ESX Server. Thanks, Jake, for the mention of Piocon and Your Choice Living. No one can actually verify that I work. I like to say it like this: "work". The same company also has a solution for monitoring patients with heart disease that are prone to sudden weight gain.
