This is not just the game boy screen, this is the entire GBA as a controller, with custom hardware in the cartridge slot. The GBA is a great embedded system. More power to them!

Right, with thorough documentation, a large deployment of users/testers, and a good bit of power, the largest downside to using a Gameboy as the soul of your product is price.

I guess this means price point was not a concern of this product

I have to think the margin on medical devices is big enough to warrant potentially losing a few bucks on OTS components.
