Samsung Unveils The Tricorder

Samsung unveils the Simband, but you can't buy it - GadgeTell | TechnologyTell. If you thought that the Tricorder was science fiction, watch out. Because science fiction is rapidly becoming science fact. The Simband isn't available yet; but, I can see all sorts of uses for this thing in hospitals and on patients' wrists. No more huge panels connected to a hospital bed and wires. Just strap on a Simband, and your vitals are tracked automatically with a constant readout. As the technology becomes smaller, these sorts of devices will be everywhere. The only thing Dr. McCoy got wrong is that you won't have just one tricorder that you point at the patient. The patient will wear the tricorder on his or her wrist. Welcome to the future.
