Tricorder X Prize competition: develop a handheld medical diagnostic device and win $10 million | KurzweilAIThe X Prize Foundation and Qualcomm Foundation today announced the launch of the $10M Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize, a global competition to revolutionize healthcare.
In this competition, teams will leverage technology innovation in areas such as artificial intelligence and wireless sensing — much like the medical Tricorder of Star Trek fame — to make medical diagnoses independent of a physician or healthcare provider.
The goal of the competition is to drive development of devices that will give consumers access to their state of health in the palm of their hand.
