- Trekkie triage: Could a new medical device aid medics?: Scientific American Blog
On Star Trek, medical diagnoses were easy: Dr. McCoy pulled out a tricorder, and named a medical ailment without even laying a hand on a patient. Could a similar – albeit less powerful – device soon aid earth-bound medics?
From up to 40 feet away, the Standoff Patient Triage Tool (SPTT) would gauge a person’s pulse, body temperature and muscle movement, according to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate. The 15-by-8-by-6-inch (or about 38-by-20-by-15-centimeter) SPTT will use lasers to rapidly measure vibrations of objects such as the human head and chest and calculate vital signs from the data. Airplanes, acoustic speakers and landmine detectors already make use of such technology.
