^ At the rate shit is moving forward, don't be surprised if prototypes come out in the next ten years. They already have 3d X-rays and high accuracy ultrasound technology. All they have to do is slap it all together with a super efficient, small supercomputer that can individually look at cells and tell what's wrong with them based on information they are carrying.

what's that about them not requiring it to not make the same noise? sheez, what a waste of money then. at least some kind of retro sci-fi noise ought to be added to win the full prize money !~

I would be damn surprised if prototypes for a device like this came out in the next five hundred years. There are simply too many variables and complications in medical science, many ailments present with the same symptoms or present symptoms differently in different people.

^500 years? Barring a civilization reboot, I don't see why we can't have one in half a millennium. In 500 years, we could have nanobots in our blood healing us before we get sick so we wouldn't need a tricorder, more like a wifi connection for software updates to tackle the latest bird 'flu

In the span of 70 years civilization went from wetnap nurses that treated ailments with things we consider poisons and carcinogens today. They went from being able to look at a man's skin and assuming what's wrong with him to harnessing the power of radioelectric waves and magnetic law to see inside the human body without touching it. We've got devices that can restart our heart if it stops, and after 70 years we're on the precipace of bio-nano technology.
It's not hard to believe that in the next 10 years we'll be seeing prototypes for this, not hard at all. Every day they're finding the minute difference between two nearly identical bacterium, and this device, which could be a portable 3d body mapping device with infrared and magnetic sensors all over it that would have the sophistication to "zoom" in on cells and see what's wrong with them at the smallest level possible. We can already do that with huge machines, it's not hard to believe medical technology will go the way of the personal computer in the same 60 year span.
It could hold a whole 10 digits in memory!
You can hold it with less than digits!!!!
Its not hard at all to see medical science going the same way, which it has in fact done just as steadily as technology over the last 50 years.
