At least once in your life you've probably been to a hospital or seen people hooked up to those pulse monitors and all the fancy medical gear, and you probably wouldn't want that to fail, right? - This is exactly what this project does, helps make electronics that fix themselves (yes, like the starship enterprise).
Check out the linked post for more information, or have a listen to the first half hour of the episode.
Join us for the next episode where Delta will be introducing Rosetta@Home.
