How difficult were the regulatory issues around your software? I've been lead to believe that the FDA is quite difficult to work with on this type of software.

Furthermore, wouldn't legal liability be quite high?



The regulatory issues were very difficult, and I wasn't able to figure them all out before suspending the project. There wasn't an obvious precedent. My suspicion would be that if you built it, you could find some way to make money with it, but it would take years before the world would open up enough for people to, say, use it online.
