In some sense the wildest thing about this story is that you can do almost everything Steve's custom built rig was designed for, with just a smartphone.

Something struck me while watching the video on that page though 'if you want me to find the correlation between cervical injury and stroke - it would take me about a minute to determine that, and who determined that and on what basis'
What would he have been using, at that time, to find that out?
