Smart Phones Help Manage Chronic Illness

Technology Review has an article about connecting smart phones to medical monitors.  
Their apps interface wirelessly with medical devices—including a blood-pressure monitor and a blood-sugar monitor—and offer suggestions based on the readings. They found that people using the programs lowered their blood pressure and were more vigilant about monitoring and testing their blood sugar.
Gimmick or wave of the future?
