Seems doctors think the Wii Board is good enough to replace $18k balance measurement devices.

That just goes to show how outrageously priced some of the medical equipment is.

Imagine if there was a market for some sort of MRI in a game... Nintendo would make a spectacular one for $300 while all the price gouging medical jackasses are still charging a million bucks

Med supplies may be overpriced or maybe they aren't for the research in them but the Wii just has a ton of volume behind it. Perhaps if Nintendo got into med supplies it would be a win.

Indeed economies of scale in effect for wii board. Wonder how much it would cost if only something like 1000 a year or 100 a year were made.

And here all you doubters thought there was no market for the Wii Vitality sensor.
