Nokia 810: perfect bio-signal monitor?

N810: perfect bio-signal monitor?
Since the release of N810 I have been intrigued by the possibility to use the device for health monitoring purposes. Now I had finally opportunity to evaluate device for this. Especially I wanted to test N810 Adobe Flash 9 (that not even FlashLite 3 can cope) capabilities for online remote biosignal monitoring.
N810 has quite perfect characteristics for bio-signal monitoring: large screen, touch screen and wireless connectivity. However the device comes with Linux based MAEMO platform instead of S60 and it does not have mobile connectivity as mobile phones, instead it has Bluetooth and WLAN for browsing.
When I had played with N810, my impression was that this could be really good device for health care professionals to review/analyze health related data. Especially the support for Adobe Flash 9 was really interesting since this provides basically same web browser compatibility as current desktop browsers instead of limited Flash Lite support used in most smart phones!
So what’s the catch?
Have you ever wondered how doctors/specialists review your data when they are on-call at home? Well, for most cases I can say that they cannot (until they arrive to healthcare center/hospital). But what if they could review your data where ever they are? N810 with the support for Flash 9 provides powerful combination for utilizing web-flash-based tools normally used with workstations.
Following picture illustrates the case. Mobile phone collects bio-signal information and transfers to server. Health professional can then use either workstation browser or N810 browser with Flash9 support to review the data.
Using normal mobile phones the screen is limited in most phones to too small form factors. N810 brings nice addition for platforms for health professionals.
