Yes, I'm aware of Tim's blog.
It seems to me that only one or two of the Big Players (in medical equipment) are true innovators.
Meanwhile, I believe I'm right in saying that that part of the world that makes most of the kit these days have something of a reputation for being great
copiers of other folk's technology. Those guys don't
invest in technology. Their religion is money, and profit (and only that) is their goal.
Myself, I can't see the over-riding imperative for every piece of equipment to
talk to each other. Not unless it's the toaster, the 'fridge and the microwave oven, that is.
