One of the key takeaways from the meeting, and from phase I of CHL UK, was that we tested and learned together for a whole year, but it’s now time to put our energy into what works.
In so many ways, the gadgets seen in Star Trek remind us that the show is science fiction—a fantasy world inspired by the one we live in. And at times, the show can act as a glimpse into the future. The medical tricorder—that all-in-one portable device that can accurately diagnose anything—sits somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. Medical tech has gotten smaller and more accurate, but we've yet to design a handheld diagnostic panacea. That could change soon.
The contest to create the world’s first medical tricorder is down to two teams. Currently, both teams are undergoing the consumer testing phase of the competition and we should have a winner by the first half of 2017. Which puts the invention of the medical tricorder about 200 years ahead of schedule.

Pew Research projects that by 2055 there will not be a single racial or ethnic majority.
