Kudos on your research, Dr. Smarr. The ability to have society not be solely dependant upon the judgement of a gatekeeper, the primary care physician, is a huge step forward for humanity. I am glad you ended your presentation referring to the enormous challenges of data privacy. This technology could easily be used to monitor behaviors deemed to be undesirable by society which then runs into the thorny issues of freedom, morality, and ethics. As always, technology has unforeseen consequences, and society's track record to address these consequences has not been great. However, this technology is a glimmer of hope for the future.
