I mocked them for the diabetes symbol being a circle, but as a research tool, this could be pretty cool. Participants dropping out of studies is always a problem in clinical work (Who has time to visit the doctor when you're better? I hardly have time when I'm sick). I look forward to seeing the future wave of meta-analyses comparing the quality of phone-based surveys to clinic visits.
