There are a lot of applications out there for the Palm platform, but this is one of the more interesting...
Savacor Inc. is betting that you have congestive heart failure and that you want to be able to keep control of it digitally. So they bought up every last Handspring Visor from the junkyard they could find and slapped their software onto them. The result is the HeartPOD, a system designed to help monitor the patient via a sensor implated into the heart and an old-skool Palm. Currently it’s still in trials and testing but could one day be available to all heart failure patients who need constant monitoring.
I'm just wondering why they decided to go with an older Palm model. With so much more processing power in today's handhelds, I just can't imagine why they needed such an older model. Maybe it's to keep the budget down.
