In the past year, the health-care service has piloted two home-monitoring programs for patients with diabetes and those on blood-thinning medication - groups at high risk of emergency hospitalization.

There has been widespread speculation that uncertainty about a possible transition in the North is part of the reason for Pyongyang's recent, dramatic acts of defiance: a long-range rocket launch in early April, and last week's underground nuclear test and multiple missile launches. North Korea's politically powerful military is thought to have no interest in ever bargaining away the country's nuclear deterrent - the ultimate guarantee of the regime's security - and Jong Un's new posting on the Defense Commission...
