Scott, this app really has nothing to do with health care delivery. Right now most people have access to nurse on call that provides the same service for free.

The app is designed to collect $49 from the kind of people who troll the internet looking for diseases that match their symptoms. $49 here $49 there and pretty soon you are talking about real money.

Think of the app as a mobile phone slot machine for the health care industry.
