Thanks for the feedback from Wilfred, and interest from Kumar. Already started to talk with Kumar.
Talked with Wilfred via Skype and understood his points. Let me provide more information here. We are actually also implementing medical Firefox OS apps to connect with medical devices. For example, the 1st device that we are working on is to get electrocardiogram from medical devices, and provide medical suggestions to users. I will share more information about this project later. What I would like to share is that, to connect more devices and bring them into web is our mission as well. It's already covered. Compare with implementing apps, to implement a general medical operating system has significant and higher influence. The goal is trying to integrate with as more medical apps as possible. I've already discussed with doctors from multiple hospitals in Taiwan, and also Dr. Tan from Singapore, security is the common focus from almost all these doctors. Therefore, we are talking this into consideration when working on this project. Today, we finished our 1st meeting with Dr. Tan from Singapore. Based on his experience, to have such platform in wearable devices is much better than in mobile phones. To ask elders to take mobile phones in hands all the time might be not easy. We collected lots of different feedback. It might be a really long mail if I write them down here. I will digest them and put useful information on the Wiki page as soon as possible. Let me know if you are interested in this project and would like to join our regular meetings, we are very happy to get more feedback, comments, and help. I am actively working with more and more universities and engaging with community members from different countries, and more projects are coming. I am also working with National Taiwan University on device porting. Will create another Wiki, and send it out to all of you. Thank you.
