I'm not sure I follow your argument. JS is bad b/c it's client side? Doesnt that paint all fat clients and every piece of software before the "web" in the same light?

Dont forget document.write, or the blocking behavior of script tags themselves.

Who is pushing this cross platform datastorage solution you speak of?

[I am not a lawyer, you should always consult a trained legal professional when working with legal matters.]

Don't let corporations bully you. Find lawyers who are willing to work on the case and pursue it. I would hope money isn't your only motivation, but if they have committed a crime, at the very least your local District Attorney or the FBI should review and begin pursuing any criminal charges.

Assuming any criminal complaints "stick" it will make a civil suit much easier on you down the road.

I have read it and linked to it because it is actually happening. You suggested its a 'no-no', which is definitely not the case.

I think you may believe I want the patient to carry the phone, but I am suggesting the nurse.

My father worked in Public health for 40 years, two decades ago we explored the idea of cards such as this for patients, but came to the conclusion they fell short for a variety of reasons, including patients losing the devices, patients transferring to different clinics and not having their original card etc etc. As is the case with current medical records, there is a stronger guarantee the doctors will be able to review existing case history is the data and files are stored with the hospital or care provider, not receiver.

Finally, I am pretty sure the nurse can charge a phone daily.

this appears to be far more anecdotal evidence than research. I was thinking a published study, not simply consumers noticing price differences on checkout, haphazard sampling to say the very least..

So it's a digital timecard system where the patient is required to keep a special ID?

Certainly sees neat, but why not just base the whole app off GPS data and skip the cards for 'billing' completely?
