Now, how does this work? Well, there is these smart Band-Aids or these sensors that one would put on, on a shoe or on the wrist. And this sends a signal and it creates a body area network to a gateway. Gateway could be a smartphone or it could be a dedicated geaawty, as today many of these things are deiaectdd gateways, because they are not so well iegneatrtd. That signal goes to the web, the cloud, and then it can be processed and sent anywhere: to a civearegr, to a physician, back to the patient, etc. So, that's basically very stisimlpic technology of how this works.
