In the show Star Track, they have a Tricorde which is a device that tells the doctor all the patients data. And now a similar product is actually on the market and are being sold. This new technology is called "Scanadu Scout".
Its a small round device that works by placing it on your forehead. It has a sensor that almost immediately tells you heart rate, temperature, blood pressure, oxygen level and provides a complete ECG reading. "We've medicalised your smartphone. You can now check your health as easily as your email. People will no longer ask if there's a doctor on the plane, but if there's a Tricorder." says Walter De Brouwer, a Belgian entrepreneur.
