Imagine a portable, wireless device in the palm of your hand that monitors and diagnoses your health conditions. That is the technology envisioned by this XPRIZE competition, inspired by the Star Trek tricorder, and it will allow unprecedented access to personal health metrics. With the ability to diagnose 15 serious illnesses and monitor 5 different vital signs, this device will far surpass anything available today to the average consumer or anyone for that matter. Whether used at home or in a remote village where healthcare is scarce, this Digital Health tool is about to go from science fiction to science fact. Today we talk with Grant Campany and Rick Valencia about how the XPRIZE process from inspiration to the awarding of the prize and what they hope to achieve with through these grand endeavors.
