Like said before - Healthcare is one of the big things in wearable and the future of IT. Personal computing and personal healthcare grow together like never before. IBM starts a project together with the university of florida (UF) that reminds me to the Personal Health Assitent - the PDA for your health:

The technology creates the first-ever roadmap for widespread commercial development of "smart" devices that, for example, take a person's blood pressure, temperature or respiration rate the minute a person steps into his or her house - then transmit it immediately and automatically to doctors or family.

It's definitive not the "first roadmap" - just search for "Zurich" at this blog - but it's an impressive sign to the market:

"It's really a change of mindset."
