The Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE is a $10 million competition that challenges teams all around the world to create a real tricorder that will diagnose numerous health conditions -- from strep throat to diabetes to stroke. The competition will result in a portable, wireless medical device that will give people unprecedented access to their personal health metrics.
