If a wearable can be shown to shave 30 seconds off an office visit, I'm sure some HMO would try it. Beyond that, it starts to address the dork factor a lot of wearable designs have. The fewer parts and wires visible, the better for most people. I realize you've done something like it before, but doesn't mean your experience will directly translate to their ideas, technology, sales plan, etc. The Palm Pilot succeeded where the Newton did not, for ex.
