For example many of the doctors that use my clients system first want to see the fitness tracker data for a few months (at least) before deciding if a more formal diagnostic test (using the client's system) is needed. Some insurance companies actually require this as a part of the approval of payment. That assumes the patient has a fitness tracker, if they don't then it is often a fight between the doctor's billing dept and the insurance company. For this reason our system has to allow the tracker data to be uploaded and looked at side by side with the diagnostic data when the test is complete (to prove there is something the diagnostic data found/did not find that the fitness didn't). A few months worth of fitness data is easily a few GB, multiplied by several thousand patients and needing near a PB of storage for the backend is easy to see. Side note I can't stand the XiB (X=K,M,G,etc.) notation vs. the XB notation. For one thing a Kibibit sounds like the name of a dog food and not a measure of storage, mebibit sounds like the babalings of a baby, gibibit sounds like type of monkey, etc. -- Aryeh M.
