i think that's thinking inside the BOX or being satisfied with status quo. Most costs/pains of diabetes are from mistakes in care (~75%). The patient manages their condition day to day themselves (99%). Studies have shown that we can catch complications and improve lives by analyzing patient's glucometer data.

Digitizing this data, making it accesible vs. having it as a printer paper folder, is the first step. Once we have the data, we need to make decisions based on it. Computers are a lot better analyzing 1000s data points from multiple vitals. Main problem is the device connectivity fragmentation.... at Infometers we are working to solve that problem. Reason I say this, send me a names of the diabetes monitor you use - I might already support it.

So my friend is a producer & manager in Hollywood.

He thinks Hollywood model is broken. He has access to content. Yet he can't get it on the tv or movie screens because there are like a dozen people who control that.

In many ways - we agree with Paul: ycombinator.com/rfs9.html Technology has made movie making extremely cheap. Distribution is the real problem to be solved.

We want to make an Independent movie and tv channel app (& later platform) both on Google and Apple TV. Make quality unique content from independent or small/medium size movie studios available for the resulting TV/Movie channel app.

Thru these TV app platforms we are able to launch an equivalent to an independent content network (note: the content can be hosted anywhere). Take out some of the control they have. This weekend making v1.0 at: http://www.svandroid.org/events/51143042/
