About Us

We check the news. We check the weather. We check our texts; we check our Tweets. Our email. Facebook. Amidst this wealth of information, we don’t check our bodies. With medical providers around the globe taxed for resources, we need to start taking charge of our own health. The Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize is making that happen. By bringing together the best minds in the industry to compete to solve this problem, the Prize is promoting the most innovative solutions that bring healthcare home. That’s great news—for consumers, for industry, for medicine—for everyone.
