The world's first tricorder
The Scanadu Scout is an at-home medical sensor which sends data concerning your vital signs to a smartphone. Heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate, blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG) and even such less-tangible things as emotional stress level can all be monitored and recorded by simply pressing the Scanadu Scout to your forehead. Your body’s information where it belongs: in your hands. Share it with your doctor and others to take health conversations – and discoveries – to a new level.
Scanadu is quick to point out that their device is as of yet not a legitimate diagnostic tool. While the device does everything it is reported to, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hasn't approved it as an over-the-counter consumer product.
Scanadu is currently running an Indiegogo campaign to not only help get their product into people's hands, but to get their hands on people's data.
