Back to the future

Through a combination of an updated flux capacitor and Facebook and Twitter hacks, I was able to access status messages and tweets from next year, and found these related to mobile health to be particularly interesting.

From John Halamka: PHR chip embedded in my shoulder now linked to McDonald’s drive-up window system and restricts my ordering to only grilled chicken sandwiches, salads and diet soft drinks. Thank goodness Wendy’s is not quite there yet.

From Tim Burton: Images sent from ingestible camera to my tablet providing inspiration for set design of new project.

From Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer: According to pet exercise app, Sparky ran three miles today. Unfortunately, GPS malfunctioned so we don’t know where he ran to.

From Alec Baldwin: Hypertension under better control now that Words with Friends linked to biofeedback monitor.

From Hannibal Lecter: New anatomy app makes it so much easier to plan dinner.

From Steve Lieber: Winners of “Most Steps Walked at HIMSS Annual Conference Exhibit Hall” contest to be announced at closing keynote.

From Donald Trump: Try my new stress management app, “You’re Fried.”

From Keith Richards: Medication reminder app malfunctioning. Switching back to manual.

From iTunes App Store: We apologize to users of the iAbs app. Animations of Richard Simmons have been replaced with Ryan Gosling and Channing Tatum.

From Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA): So glad that my proposal for an FDA Office of Mobile Health will go to a Pilot phase. This is in Accord with the Odyssey the industry has embarked upon and it’s the government’s Civic duty to ensure that apps are safe and effective.

From PSY: Mobile Health – Gangnam Style!

From Abe Vigoda: Biometrics in my iPhone confirm I am still alive.
