Personal mobile technology can be a somewhat selfish, decadent obsession, therefore I am always on the look out for ways that mobile devices can make a qualitative difference in people’s lives. I recently was informed of a Beta program that may allow people to help develop a product that could do just that.

ZumeLife, a medical technology company, is in the process of developing a small mobile product called the Zuri that is designed to assist people in managing their own fitness and ongoing health care.

ZumeLife says the following about the product:

Our prototype solution empowers you to do a much better job of self-care via an iPod-size device that helps with reminders and tracking of health-related activities. A personal webpage allows you to follow your health and note signs of progress or trouble, and enables your caregivers to provide you better support.

Obviously such a project needs beta testers, which is why ZumeLife is turning to the online community.

We need a select group of individuals to test our prototype and provide input to help us develop our solution. Set-up and occasional questionnaires might take an average of fifteen minutes each week. If you choose to participate, you will have better control of your health and be helping make the world better for a lot of other people.

Beta Testers need to be adults who:

• Are actively managing an ongoing health condition
• Use email regularly
• Live busy lives

If you would consider being a beta tester, please fill out the Beta Program application and we will send you more details.

Does one of the possible uses of the Zuri depicted below seem to fit you?

If you wish to help ZumeLife out, are interested in participating in a beta and would have a use for such a device click the link above to complete their survey.

By day a department manager and writer for a major network device vendor...by night Zealot stalks the mean magnetic streets, striking fear into the hearts of bandwidth abusers and theme park mascots. Zealot has been involved with mobile devices for more than a decade now, starting off with dumb phones, moving to PDAs and then to smartphones, notebooks and netbooks with the odd PMP thrown in. Most of his mobile time currently is spent on a Treo Pro, Zune HD, Thinkpad T61, Gigabyte M912M or a Hackintoshed Compaq Mini 704. He proudly groks the Geek community and considers himself a Neo Maxi Zune Dweebie (thanks Will Wheaton!).
