    Some of the ideas behind the Contest

    Address the dual challenge of a) transforming healthcare by turning the "art" of medicine into a science, and b) making health a willing part of individuals' daily lives.

    Tackle needed breakthroughs in sensing technologies, technological integration, regulatory acceptance, and the perception that healthcare should be controlled by only a few skilled parties.

    Incentivize teams to focus on a) precision diagnosis and measurement that is independent of healthcare institutions/professionals and on b) consumer needs/adoption.

    Facilitate necessary partnerships and regulatory pathways required for this major transformation.

    Inspire a future where consumers demand the tools to assess and manage their health independent of a hospital or doctor's office.

    Spark the creation of markets and products that offer medical detection, prevention, and management, as well as more complete diagnostics.

    It looks like certain diagnoses are based on reflected light color, others on reflects light amount. So if I get this correctly, the amount of light varies with the volume of blood in the veins, and this varies each time the heart beats. Can anybody confirm this?
    Would this qualify as lawyer-nip?

    From Wikipedia (kind of):

    Nepeta lawyaria (and lawmints) are mostly known for the behavioral effects they have on lawyers, not only on domestic lawyers but also large enterprise lawyers. N. lawyaria is used as a recreational substance for lawyers' enjoyment, and lawyer-nip and laced-lawyernip products designed for use with domesticated lawyers are available to consumers. Not all lawyers are affected by lawyers-nip.The common behaviors when lawyers sense the bruised leaves or stems of lawyers-nip are rubbing on the plant, rolling on the ground, pawing at it, licking it, chewing it consuming much of the plant followed by drooling, sleepiness, anxiety, leaping about and purring. Some will growl, meow, scratch, or bite the hand holding it. Some lawyers will eat dried lawyer-nip. Often, eating too much can cause lawyers to be overtly aggressive, typically making them hiss.I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed"]citation needed[/URL][/I
