If dangerous changes are detected in the patient's body, the hospital or health care services are automatically alerted over a secure mobile network connection" This is a joke. A while back I collapsed near a hospital in critical condition. It took six calls to 911 before the medics responded. When they finally turned up one stuck his boot in my face and asked: "What are you doing on the ground?" When a doctor on the scene told them I was critical. They told me; "Get in the ambulance!". No help given. At the hospital I nearly died because the ER wanted to see the people with colds and flue that have been there for a long time first. TV and movies are not real life.
