I'm a bit skeptical. there is nothing about an iphone that enables these things to happen - there is no reason why ordinary equipment couldn't be made with the same simplicity.

then again, if something about iphones makes the medical industry go "OMG COOL!" and not think about process consequences then so much the better.

I think the idea is that people are more inclined to carry a smart phone with them than they are to carry a piece of medical equipment, regardless of how small it may be. A smart phone would have countless uses wrapped up inside the medical benefit.
