Hi Arjun, I've CCed Sameer Sawarkar of Neurosynaptic. They have successfully built a remote low cost diagnostic kit ( I think it's called ReMeDi) that can measure temperature, blood pressure, ECG and heartbeat (stethoscope) and perform other tasks. It won a prize at the World Economic Forum 2007. There was an article in businessweek here: http://images.businessweek.com/ss/07/11/1129_tech_pioneers/source/22.htm I hope maybe XO and ReMeDi can, in someway, be complementary.
