    I kinda want one of these that doesn't require a smartphone... Basically a true medical tricorder minus all the silly pre-touchscreen buttons and flip-phone casing. Just a scanner unit and a linked handheld display screen.

    This isn't the first time a medical company has built something 'like' a medical tricorder. They're mainly just personal health monitors, not medical scanners.
