Scan your forehead to get temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, oximetry, ECG & heart rate variance info to share with your doctor or track regularly on your own phone. Originally funded on Indiegogo back in 2013, they're now shipping units to their original backers. First product in what's intended to be a suite of home healthcare devices, with the next one being an at-home 1 minute urine analysis kit (still in dev process). They've been pitching themselves as a medical tricorder & while it's a long way from the full StarTrek analysis I think devices like these are important steps in health tech. And unlike fitness focused tracking devices, Scanadu is actually pursuing crowd-sourced clinical trials & FDA approval: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/s...
