The overall goal is to build a real life Tricorder, as defined by the Tricorder X-Prize with a purse of $10MM. Through guest lectures and 10 hands on laboratories, students will learn to fabricate, remix, and design detection and monitoring devices for health following the core focus of the Tricorder, a portable, handheld diagnostic device which can brings health solutions to consumers at home or in remote parts of the world. Hands-on labs on a weekly basis in a new dedicated health technology research facility at the Media Lab. Students with successful prototype projects that show a potential for impact are eligible for travel to India to our clinical partner sites.
