Soon we will use Samsung phones in hospitals so we can track strokes blood pressure heart rate and whatnot.

Early detection of strokes will allow the patient to receive timely (within 12-24 hours) medicine to lessen the likelihood of damage. Device not meant for hospital use, but in homes for those who have a high risk to strokes from, say diabetes. If it works, and the price is right, why not? Problem is, Apple is working on a patent on this as we speak....

Be great for football, hockey players to determine concussions, and not only at the pro level. Kids who play those contact sports are at risk to head injuries. Take note NFL, NHL, etc...
