Most BME research is located in universities, often in collaboration with clinical groups in teaching hospitals. Major research areas include prostheses, non-invasive measurement, biomechanics, and - most appropriately in a country of such vast distances and with an ageing population - rehabilitation, telemedicine, and home healthcare monitoring. 

A smart grid could also interface with other utilities (gas, water, etc.). New services such as home monitoring, healthcare monitoring, etc. could be unleashed, which could provide new revenue streams to utilities as well as enhance consumer convenience. A power utility with its own network could become an Internet Service Provider, either directly or through a partnership or subsidiary. However, such changes are not only resisted (because of the creation of winners and losers) but also because there is vast uncertainty in how these will evolve. (Tongia 2009, p. 7)...
