Smartphones provide a very easy and reliable way to have people interface with such devices. It can be done right, but you have to be careful. I'd rather that medical device manufacturers use well-known frameworks and technologies with almost two decades of engineering and UX improvements behind them than the alternative, which is them using some sort of slapdash in-house solution that will almost certainly be worse.

I deeply disagree with you and think this encourages reckless
engineering and is a dangerous attitude to take.
Ease of use and reliability have nothing to do with each other. One
should not be used as a cover for defects in the other.
You may enjoy "ease of use". But smartphones are extraordinarily
complex devices that concentrate far too much functionality and risk
in one place without safeguards. They come literally "compromised out
of the box" with poor decoupling between subsystems like RF, memory
and processors.

Truly libelous shilling for the app store.
