Build a (real) tricorder and you can win $10 million!
Quite a fun idea, but one, as the article notes, that will probably take a while to come to fruition. But if you're smart enough and got some spare time, go for it! I know I could sure use $10m.
A $10m (£6.5m) prize is on offer to whoever can create a Star Trek-like medical "tricorder".
The Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize has challenged researchers to build a tool capable of capturing "key health metrics and diagnosing a set of 15 diseases".
It needs to be light enough for would-be Dr McCoys to carry - a maximum weight of 5lb (2.2kg).
