Wow. I went to school with Eric and his brother as we grew up in the same town, and just pulled up MacRumors as I do (almost daily) and saw his face quite unexpectedly. Way to go, Eric!
But if anyone was hoping for some breakthrough devices at WWDC, might as well lower your expectations now. If we get anything it won't be much.
As someone in the medical field, I can tell you this is already a thing.
The only things that really help physicians tell patients they are ok (except extreme cases) are data and tests. Now, instead of having Ms. Hypo Chondriac come in each week for a BP reading, you can have a continuous monitor which will give a MUCH better reading than a single check (see White Coat Syndrome).
Who knows, also, what Apple has planned for this. Having the technology is one thing. What Apple is supremely good at is using technology to give us something new and useful - Ping excluded.

Oh God, could you imagine how awesome it would be if people could use an iOS device and peripherals as a Holter Monitor?

Sounds like fun. I mean, have you ever seen a sad Borg?
Resistence is futile.
Thank you. You sir have made my day. Having said that though, what about Hugh? Wasn't he sad?

Maybe Apple is working on a device that enables mind control of your iOS device, along with these health monitoring features?

Awareness is not a bad thing.
So the last rumor must be true that they are working on something. It's odd to Apple goes and gets someone who can get data from the ears after a rumor
I read about a running app that says you run too much per week now. Because too much running is bad for you, increases injury in muscles and joints, etc. People who are working out too much don't live as long as those who maintain a healthy mix of exercise and diet.
