Real TriCorder Saves Lives
X Prize winner is a real life TriCorder similar to the one we know featured in Star Trek. But, this is a factual, functioning life saving unit which can accurately predict and diagnose a host of medical issues. It’s a high tech wearable unit constantly connected to the cloud.
The Idea Takes Shape
An X Prize of 10 million dollars was offered to anyone in the world, from any country, who could design and build a real life working model of the TriCorder. It had to be extremely user friendly by the average non-medically trained person.
This video chronicles the evolution of several responses to the challenge.
