I applaud their effort, and I sincerely wish them success...

But this is the medical equivalent of Notepad. It is lacking a ton of critical features, which makes it inadequate for almost any real use cases.

The regulatory burden is substantially lower when you don't have much functionality.

Also, $2 per case is way too expensive for what they're offering.

EDIT: Looks like they're moving in a decent direction, though:

EDIT EDIT: I'm not as impressed with the "volume rendering" as I wanted to be. So, time will tell. I wish them luck.
