![]() ![]() The 24th century medical tricorder coordinates 86 electromagnetic devices that are installed in its internal frame, exterior sides, and exterior top. The 23rd century model only has sensors situated at the top of the unit. The more powerful the sensors, the more detailed the data. In all medical tricorders, sensors detect objects directly in their path to produce information on the body's overall processes, including electromagnetic conditions, organ functions, and dangerous organisms. The original model was black and rectangular and was carried by an over-the-shoulder strap the current model has a total length of just 15cm. The medical peripheral, a clip-on sensor and processing device, also houses a removable scanner, which is capable of extremely detailed and precise work. Much as the fundamental needs of Constitution-class starships are still the driving force behind the design of the much-improved Galaxy-class starships, the mission and the functions of medical tricorders have changed very little from the 23rd to the 24th century.Īlthough the size and weight of the tricorder has been shrinking, the current medical tricorder is the first clamshell model that folds, via two hinges, for convenience. However, the previous descriptions apply equally to both the first and the newest medical tricorders. Over the last century and a half, standard and medical tricorders have repeatedly, as powerful technologies emerged, been redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up. To supplement the basic sensors, a stand-alone, close-range hand-held scanner collects and sends high-resolution readings to the medical tricorder. The differences between a medical tricorder and the standard model are its dedicated life-sign sensors, medical analysis computer, and library modules. Information gathered is analyzed by an internal computer that also displays the results on a tiny screen built into the tricorder. The underlying design of the medical tricorder is a standard tricorder - a portable (hand-held) multifunctional device that integrates computers, scanning sensors, and data storage. During emergencies both on home base and while exploring new worlds, the difference between life and death for UFED personnel often rests in a small, simple-looking box called the medical tricorder. ![]()
