Its why bicycles were such a hit as well. Suddenly there was a new tech that allowed you to get around quicker than just your own two feet, without all the expense of having to have/hire horses and staff to handle it all.

Where do you see your work in the pipeline from lab to clinic, will this kind of technology be diagnosing patients in the immediate future or will this be a longer term ambition?

Its also a great way of getting to know an area quite well. Especially if you're just generally walking around and not just hiking from point A to point B. Always make it a priority when I move to a new area to spend a few weeks doing 4 or 5 mile trails around the area just to see what shops are around and what different parts of the town are like. UK though, I imagine its a nightmare in the US with how your pedestrian infrastructure is.
