Vital Signs from Philips video

We pointed out some CNET coverage of the new Philips “Vital Signs” app. For $.99 you can get an app for your iPad 2 that using the video camera detects your pulse and respitory rate. The video does a good job of explaining how the technology works for the average user. What they don’t do well is clearly make you understand why or when you’ll want to know that kind of information.
