BEAM ME UP SCOTTY AND TAKE MY PULSE: Mesi offers a video of a project to create a medical device inspired by the one in Star Trek
The US$10mil (RM31.75mil) Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE, a competition that aims to make science fiction a reality, has narrowed its participant pool to ten remaining teams. The challenge: to create and develop a medical device capable of interpreting and diagnosing at least 15 medical conditions and reading five vital health metrics, using the illustrious Tricorder from Star Trek as an ideal.
Devices are to be consumer-oriented and portable, and the rules forbid them from weighing over five pounds, including batteries and additional charging units.
