Thanks Chester, yes, I agree, those are fascinating devices! In addition to having to manage on very little power indeed, I wonder if they mentioned anything about security, and how their designs are or can be protected. IoT devices in general have developed a poor reputation as easily exploitable, and with "always on" devices for monitoring, that must have occurred to the developers.

Yeah security could be a concern especially with longer range signals (like mobile networks). Hopefully the software side is solid.

I agree! If their security could be hardened sufficiently, they might also be interesting for healthcare-related applications.
