Scanadu finalizes Scout tricorder design, wants user feedback to help it get FDA approval
Scanadu Packs More Features Into Scanadu Scout™; Unveils Design For Project ScanaFlo
Company Launches Indiegogo Campaign to Begin Building the Future Global Body of Health Data
NASA Ames Research Park, Moffett Field, CA - May 22, 2013 - Scanadu, a personalized health electronics company participating in the Qualcomm Tricorder X PRIZE, today announced it is one step closer to bringing the first medical tricorder™ to life. In addition to unveiling updates and refinements to Scanadu Scout™ and Project ScanaFlo, the company has also launched an Indiegogo campaign, inviting supporters to reserve a first-edition Scanadu Scout™ and contribute to building the future global body of health data.
"We are in awe at the enthusiasm the community has shown for the Scanadu Scout since the prototype was first revealed six months ago. We get calls and emails everyday from parents, researchers, students and body hackers anxious to be part of the first generation of consumers to truly understand their own health," said Scanadu Founder and CEO Walter de Brouwer. "We've pushed the envelope, had some key breakthroughs, and are ready to share this next iteration of the product with consumers."
Scanadu Scout is a vital sign monitor that analyzes, tracks, and trends your vitals - temperature, respiratory rate, oximetry, ECG, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and stress - in 10 seconds. With encouraging feedback from the community, partners, and regulators, and a strong push from Scanadu's engineers and researchers, the company has made three key breakthroughs:
• Multi-person scouting: Just like Spock, you can now scout someone else - an ailing parent or sick child. With this breakthrough, Scanadu made some key changes to the design. It is now circular in shape, with the sensors built into the front of the device.
• One-stop-shop healthfeed: You'll be able to collect readings from Scanadu's suite of products - including Project ScanaFlo - through a single integrated app. Seeing your comprehensive healthfeed allows for data fusion, and the potential to read more vitals such as cuffless, non-invasive blood pressure.
• Increased computational power: Scanadu has added more horsepower to the device, taking it from 8-bit (the power of an Apple II) to 32-bit (the power of a smartphone). The new device is built on Micrium, NASA's real-time operation system for SAM (Sample Analysis at Mars) on the Rover Curiosity.
The company also announced updates today to Project ScanaFlo, a low-cost tool that uses the smartphone as a urine analysis reader, and unveiled the first design of the product. The small white, disposable paddle with multi-colored test strips and a QR code built into the device tests for levels of glucose, protein, leukocytes, nitrates, blood, bilirubin, urobilinogen, specific gravity, and pH in urine. It will also test for pregnancy.
Scanadu has received its first batch of 6,000 paddles and is ready to begin clinical trials. The company anticipates submitting a 510(k) application to FDA in the beginning of July 2013.
"Today's urine tests are really hard to use and the results are not easy to interpret," said Aaron Rowe, research director at Scanadu. "Scanaflo will make it simple for pregnant women to monitor themselves for complications between appointments with their doctor."
Lastly, starting today, supporters can reserve a first-edition Scanadu Scout on Indiegogo and be part of the exploratory community bringing to life the vision of making this the last generation to know so little about our health. As a participant in the Indiegogo campaign, supporters will be able to take part in a usability study and provide feedback on feasibility, usability, and consumer friendliness that will be a valuable part of Scanadu's road to FDA.
The 30-day campaign will offer a variety of perks including regular updates from Scanadu, a limited edition Scanadu Scout, visits to NASA to spend the day as a citizen astronaut for a space medicine workshop, and a tour of NASA Ames Research Park. Scanadu will offer an early bird special of $149 for the device to the first 1,000 participants. Additional units will be made available at the anticipated retail price of $199. Additionally, two ScanaFlo paddles be included with each Scanadu Scout, which is expected to ship in Q1 2014. The devices on Indiegogo are not FDA approved.

About Scanadu
Based at NASA-Ames Research Park, Scanadu is using mobile, sensor and social technology to ensure this is the last generation to know so little about our health. In November 2012, the company unveiled its product family consisting of the Scanadu Scout vital sign monitor, Project ScanaFlo urine analysis test and Project ScanaFlu saliva test. The first products look to disrupt home medicine and will be in market early 2014. Scanadu was founded by Walter de Brouwer in 2010 and is competing in the Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize.

Apple recently mailed a letter from its chief financial officer, Peter Oppenheimer, to residents living in the vicinity of Infinite Loop, Cupertino, asking for feedback on the company's forthcoming "Campus 2."
This letter comes just days after Apple revised its proposal for the futuristic campus, adding in designs for pedestrian walkways, bicycle paths and staff parking. In the updated proposal, Apple notes that it is still looking to move into the new building sometime in mid-2016.
From Friday, numerous residents living in the neighborhood of Infinite Loop, Cupertino, Calif., revealed that Apple has mailed another letter concerning Campus 2, in which CFO Peter Oppenheimer has once more solicited feedback from locals. As a reminder, Apple did the same thing back in May 2012.
In the letter, Oppenheimer notes that:
At Apple, the environment is a top priority, and we've designed Apple Campus 2 with cutting-edge features to make it energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable. Several of these green technologies are highlighted in this update.
As at our existing campus on Infinite Loop, we are committed to 100% renewable energy to power Apple Campus 2. This will include on-site generation from photovoltaics and fuel cells. As part of this effort, approximately 8 megawatts of photovoltaics will be installed, creating one the largest installations of its kind on a corporate campus anywhere in the world.
Apple started in Cupertino, and we are excited to continue to grow here. As we build the new campus, we also plan to invest in new roadways and intersection improvements, add new sidewalks and better bike lanes, and plant new trees in newly created medians in the surrounding neighborhood.
Apple appears committed to ensuring that Cupertino will benefit in as many ways possible from Apple's new residence, and that Campus 2 will leave no carbon footprint.
Here are images of the letter, via MacRumors:
Included with the letter is a postage-paid response card allowing recipients to submit feedback on Campus 2, free of charge.
Once complete, Campus 2 will house 13,000 Apple employees, and will feature a central power plant, a 1,000-seat corporate auditorium, a fitness center and a 3,000-seat cafeteria. The new residence is expected to be 2.8 million square feet in size.

ABC Wants Your Instant TV Feedback — With Emoticons
Sam Laird2013-04-26 01:08:28 UTCSo you sit down for some important programming, whether a Barack Obama speech or your favorite sitcom. You've got all the fixings: Comfy chair, tasty snacks and, of course, your second screen device of choice to keep up with online chatter.
Now would you add one more thing to the mix by spending the next thirty minutes continuously clicking a range of emoticons to register the ebbs and flows of your viewing emotions?
That's the idea behind Social Sountracker, an iPhone app from ABC that's currently in beta form. The app lets users schedule reminders for shows and other programming, then sign in to give instant feedback via a set of five emoticons. There's a laughing emoticon, a booing emoticon, an "aww" emoticon, a clapping emoticon and a surprised emoticon.
When you click each emoticon, you'll also hear a corresponding sound effect. You'll hear sound effects from your Facebook friends whenever they register a reaction as well.
Joe Ruffalo, senior vice president for ABC News Digital, sees the app as a way for the network to register feedback on programming while allowing its audience to add a social element to their viewing habits.
“We hope viewers find Social Soundtracker to be a personal and interactive way to engage with their friends while watching their favorite video online or on TV,” Ruffolo said in a press release. “It is a completely new way to watch video and engage with content, and we’re excited to learn more about how people use it.
"Social Soundtracker will evolve to best suit viewers’ needs — the possibilities are truly limitless. It’s clear people want to be connected to their social networks while watching the video they love.”
Does Social Soundtracker sound like something you would use? Let us know in the comments.
