[CES 2012] I would suppose that the presence of a Star Trek Tricorder in our universe might actually mean doctors could end up less relevant, although specialists and surgeons would still be in demand. Having said that, there is a cool $10 million in prize money up for grabs for the person who successfully develops a device that is similar in function to the sci-fi series Star Trek's medical “tricorder”. Known as the Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize, the gauntlet has been thrown, where researchers are supposed to build a tool that can capture “key health metrics and diagnosing a set of 15 diseases”.
