Want your vitals without scheduling a trip to the doctor? In about 12 months, you can check them anytime you want, thanks to the Scanadu Scout. The handheld device will be able to check your pulse transit time, heart rate, temperature, electrical heart activity, heart rate variability and blood oxygenation … all in about 10 seconds. The data is sent to a smartphone app, where it's recorded and tracked over time.
