If an Orwellian type TPE relationship is what you're looking for, then medical isn't the only place to look. Portable monitor for EMG, ECG, GSR, temperature, respiratory volume, etc.; tells you state of mind, state of health, and hints about guilt, etc. Large numbers of cheap, hidden webcams from DX; tells you where they are and what they do, every moment of the day. GPS tracker with GPRS mobile phone and mic; relays information and location when they're out. Magnetic door locks that resist the level of force they can summon without being in a state of panic; keeps them from moving where they are not allowed to go, except in case of fire or burglary or the like, yet allows others in. Electric fence. Subdermal RFID chip. Alarms. Remote controls. Whatever. I personally don't think I could get anything out of that kind of control over an extended period of time. But I'm guessing there's plenty of people who would enjoy it on a session basis. Health, al-Aswad.
