I never denied the performance. Now make it usable to the average doc. That's where we disagree. You believe it's usable, but you've never seen clinicians handle computer stuff.

It would be usable to anyone with a smartphone, in a world not controlled by self-interested gatekeepers and their well-paid lobbyists.

exactly… this is tech that could be used by literally anyone if it were legal but I am supposed to believe it is just too difficult to bring into practice

I doubt that measurements outside a standardized environment would grant satisfactory performance. But, perhaps. I don't know.

You're just too sour, man. I'm not saying it won't work, not even saying with certainty it doesn't work now. I'm not refuting protectionism plays a role either. What I'm saying is just that clinical integration of new tech, especially involving computers, is much more difficult than you seem to believe. And that the primary reason for that is not the greed of docs, which in my experience holds far less political influence than you think. I'm all for new tech, so chill out a bit.
