A Q&A with the Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE Winners

[...]only teams scoring the highest on the consumer experience evaluations were eligible to win the overall competition. [...]we had to use more conventional technologies for biomarker detection (i.e., using test strips that require the right amount of blood and proper dilution with chemical solution). [...]this technology is adaptable and could be deployed anywhere in the world, bringing diagnostic capabilities to remote villages and underserved communities. Chung Kang Peng: Ideally, in the future, most diagnosis and medical care will be performed at the patient's home. [...]the sensors to gather accurate information from the patient must be user-friendly.
