I write frequently on the future of health care and it is easy to envision a future in which wireless medical technology becomes pervasive. As this small article which was buried in the back pages of today’s Wall Street Journal warns, there might be some unintended consequences of these new wireless technologies. I point this out because lawyers and federal regulators often have a way of laying waste to the best laid forecasts of how certain technologies might take root in society.
