Thanks for your idea,
as far as we discussed with the medical staff, we want a tap, but I will add a lift to the discussion. That said, it seems that "tapping/pointing" something is the learned real-world gesture, and we are concerned mostly with elderly people here (Stroke patients).
I realize that what we are doing here is not exactly what VoiceOver on iOS is for. We are intending to create a very simple user interface with both visual and auditive feedback, and really we would be happy to just leverage VoiceOver's Text-To-Speech capabilities. But as far as I can tell, you can't have that without activating VO.

Perhaps something like that would be useful in this case. I'm not sure how limited your users may be, but some of them may have an easier time lifting to envoke functions rather than tapping.
