Medical tricorder
(詳細はhandheld portable scanning device to be used by consumers〔 to self-diagnose medical conditions within seconds and take basic vital measurements. While the idea for a medical tricorder has been mostly hypothetical until May 2013, there are reports that a firm named Scanadu〔Note: name ''Scanadu'' a merging of ''scan'' and ''Xanadu'', according to indiegogo〕 has built one which they call the ''Scanadu Scout.''〔Matt Peckham, Time Tech, May 24, 2013, (A Star Trek Tricorder? ‘Scanadu Scout’ Health Monitor Surges Past Indiegogo Funding Goal: Remember Star Trek's tricorder? Someone's making the early 21st century version of one ), Accessed June 26, 2013〕〔Colleen Taylor, Tech Crunch, May 22, 2013, (Hands-On With The Scanadu Scout, The Health Gadget That’s Crowdfunding Its Way To FDA Approval ), Accessed June 26, 2013〕 While the device is not yet on the mass market, there are numerous reports of other scientists and inventors also working to create such a device as well as improve it. A common view is that it will be a general-purpose tool similar in functionality to a Swiss Army Knife to take health measurements such as blood pressure and temperature, and blood flow in a noninvasive way.〔 It would diagnose a person's state of health after analyzing the data,〔 either as a standalone device or as a connection to medical databases via an Internet connection. A ''Time Magazine'' reporter described the Scanadu Scout:
The idea of a medical tricorder comes from an imaginary device on the science fiction TV show ''Star Trek'' from the 1960s which featured fictional character Dr. Leonard McCoy using it to instantly diagnose medical conditions.〔〔 One description of the fictional device was as follows:
Several reports suggest that there may be opposition to the development of such a device by national medical regulating authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration in the United States, as well as possible opposition by doctors unwilling to permit consumers to do extensive self-diagnosis.〔〔 There is agreement that such a device could bring huge increases in productivity and cost-savings,〔 and spur a billion dollar market. There are signs that over a hundred venture-capital firms have invested $1.1 billion in digital health technology in 2012.〔
==X Prize Competition==
(詳細はQualcomm of , the Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize that was announced in 2012, has spurred the scientific and medical communities in a global competition. featuring 230 teams from 30 countries〔 to create such a device.〔 The X Prize Foundation launched the Tricorder X PRIZE at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and promised to award $10 million to the first team to build a medical tricorder. According to the prize guidelines, the device should diagnose 15 different medical conditions, including a sore throat to sleep apnea to colon cancer. The prize will be awarded partially on the basis of which invention has the most consumer friendly interface.〔 To win the prize, a successful medical tricorder will have to diagnose these conditions across "30 people in 3 days".〔
