Meet the rHealth Tricorder Team DMI
When DMI first qualified for the Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE, the team was just 8 members strong, united by a bold vision: to democratize medical diagnostics. Their pursuit of a realistic Tricorder began long before entering the contest. Since then, the team has grown, welcoming exceptional talent from engineering, science, and business backgrounds—each member bringing a unique skillset that helped bring the rHealth Tricorder to life.
After six intense weeks of round-the-clock work, countless sleepless nights, endless pizza deliveries, and gallons of coffee, the team celebrated the final submission of 30 rHealth units to the XPRIZE in mid-June. DMI is immensely proud of its dedicated, talented team and grateful for every contribution.
