Scanadu will use the funds for the production of the Scanadu Scout, a device about the size of a double-stuffed Oreo cookie that can measure heart rate, skin/core body temperature, SpO2 (oxymetry), respiratory rate, blood pressure, ECG, and emotional stress. According to the company, all of the above will be automatically sent to your smartphone from the device via Bluetooth LE.
