    It's medicine Jim, but not as we know it:
    Scientists build Star Trek-style tricorder that scans for signs of disease
    Scanadu Scout uses the operating system Nasa uses in its Mars rover
    To take a reading, the gadget is held on a person’s temple for 10 seconds
    Sensors and a built-in microphone read a variety of vital health signs
    This includes temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen levels and more
    Full technical specifications have not been released, but a prototype is on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas

    Imagine a world where a handheld gadget scans your body and diagnoses illnesses in seconds - reducing hospital visits and potentially saving your life. It may sound like the work of science fiction but engineers in California have taken their lead from the Star Trek franchise and developed a real-life version of the show’s medical tricorder. The Scanadu Scout can read a person’s temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and more, simply being held against their forehead.
