Scanadu Developing Real Life Tricoder : Going To Be Available In 2013
A Tricorder is a multifunction hand-held device used for sensor scanning, data analysis, and recording data. This type of device was first shown in Star Trek. Since long researchers have been trying to build tricorder. Now the folks at Scanadu (a Silicon Valley startup who is trying to make and plan to sell consumer-geared gadgets that, along with a smartphone, tracks vital signs like blood pressure, temperature, and heart rate) are developing handheld devices called ‘SCOUT’ that will be able to help people get in touch with their physical health.
