A Q&A with the Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE Winners

摘要: In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for “health consumer technologies”—small, user-friendly, point-of-care devices that can be operated by untrained individuals to evaluate health and disease. The Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE was a $10 million global competition stimulate innovation integration of advanced technologies, enabling reliable diagnoses anywhere anytime (https://tricorder.xprize.org/). called the development device could diagnose 12 diseases (and absence disease) capture 5 real-time vital signs independent healthcare professional or facility. Devices also not weigh >5 pounds required capability transmit data cloud storage computing system. Although diagnostic accuracy key component, unique in its strong emphasis on user adoption experience. fact, only teams scoring highest experience evaluations were eligible win overall competition. After competition's launch 2012, >300 joined. April 2017, 3 winners announced. Final Frontier Medical Devices, led Basil Harris, announced performing team received $2.6 their achievement. Dynamical Biomarkers Group, Chung Kang Peng, $1 second place. Cloud DX, Sonny Kohli, recognized as XPRIZE's first Bold Epic Innovator $100000. Here we learn more about these inventors, including what inspired hurdles they able overcome. Describe your it does.
