hi guys this is bryan bennett at cnet com and we are at CES 2013 and we're taking a first look at the scanadu scout now do more one of these things it's a Star Trek tricorder now this isn't a real device but this scanadu Scout is essentially supposed to be a medical tricorder basically a mobile thermometer that's super high-tech and will place your old you know analog thermometer at home so he just stick it right here on your temple wait 10 seconds and after that you basically get readings for all sorts of health stats so you get not only your temperature but you also get your blood flow your blood oxygen level your heart rate once you get all this data you can send it to your mobile device that would be either an Android handset your iphone or a windows phone smartphone so basically what you do with this you can take a look at this data you can see it online you can track it over time basically gives a whole recording of your health that you can take to your doctor to prove you know maybe your feel fine or something like that but it's also basically something that you can use to maybe even measure the kids temperature if you have no idea if they're sick or not and you don't have to you know use any sort of invasive methods so all in all this is a pretty interesting product as far as availability is concerned it's still undergoing FDA review but we're told it'll probably cost 150 and hopefully be available by the maybe the end of the third quarter or fourth quarter this year I'm Brian Bennett this is going to first look at the scanadu scout you
