Any updates on the project? Going to the cell top vs custom hardware (which is always fun)?

Hugh–

This project has some interesting overlap with what Juhan Sonin is working on.

Juhan is a friend whom I met virtually first on LibraryThing, then on Flickr and Twitter. He is an interaction designer + programmer currently working at MITRE.

He has been working on a series of projects and prototypes for health systems. I thought that you might find them interesting: http://www.flickr.com/photos/juhansonin/sets/72157610925772960/

I’d be happy to send an intro if you don’t know each other already

Cheers, See-ming

The problem is its intended purpose, the date and time is an important part of the user environment.. the device is a clock based reminder / relies on timestamped records...

The username is sheer convienece esp if theres an environment with multiple units in use... ie.. doctors office or other setting..

truth be told id love to see a mode which displaces the clock in large numbers, even if they are pseudo-font based... (ie using keyboard characters for graphics)...

(Speaking from experience with prototype I wanted to reply to Lindsey's suggestion)

My suggestion, in the form of a question:

Why is 25% of the screen real estate on the device taken up by the name, date and time? Surely this is a legacy of cell phone screen thinking.

If needed, place the information flowing along the y-axis on either side of the main information.
