Tricorder.Zero™ is a multi-sensor health and fitness tracking device developed by Marcus Soori, a former medical student and trained public health professional.[1] The pocket-sized device aims to provide a simplified, all-in-one solution for tracking general wellness metrics by integrating seven medical-grade sensors into a single, compact form.[2] The device is designed for independent use or in combination with a smartphone app and provides HIPAA-compliant, secure health data storage.[3]
History
Marcus Soori began conceptualizing the idea of Tricorder.Zero™ in 2013, inspired by his academic background in medicine and public health.[4] The design evolved over a decade, prioritizing size reduction, affordability, and user-friendliness. In 2021, the first prototype was finalized, and by 2022, twelve novel features of the device were submitted for patent-pending protection.[4]
Features
Tricorder.Zero™ consolidates multiple standalone health tracking tools into one unified device. It eliminates the need for redundant devices and combats user fatigue associated with multiple health-tracking apps.[5]
The device includes the following core sensors:[6]
- A high-magnification camera for skin and eye imaging
- An otoscope for ear, nose, and throat examination
- An infrared thermometer for forehead temperature
- A pulse oximeter to measure blood oxygen and heart rate
- An electronic stethoscope for lung, heart, environmental, and pet sounds
- An electrocardiogram (EKG) sensor to monitor electrical heart activity
- A body fat and muscle tone sensor
The device supports over 15 functions, including monitoring heart rate, body temperature, respiratory rate, and more. It also includes a built-in medication tracker and reminder system.[3]
AI and Technology
Tricorder.Zero™ integrates planned AI functionalities to monitor deviations in vital metrics and provide real-time alerts. This feature, referred to as a “security system for the body,” aims to help users identify potential health issues early and encourage them to seek professional help when needed.[7]
The device operates without requiring a subscription for core functionalities and features a touchscreen interface for seamless use. Its backend ensures HIPAA-compliant cloud storage, ensuring that data is secure and accessible only to the user unless shared with a health provider.[3]
Application and Sharing
Tricorder.Zero™ can be used independently or paired with a smartphone through its dedicated app, which allows users to track long-term health metrics and share data with healthcare professionals, fitness coaches, or caretakers. The sharing feature enhances remote consultations and enables personalized recommendations based on individual health data.[8]
Availability
As of 2025, Tricorder.Zero™ is available for pre-order through its official website at a discounted price of $299 USD (plus tax and shipping). The product is scheduled to ship in the first quarter of 2026. The full retail price after the preorder window will be $499 USD.[1]
Reception
The device has received positive coverage from technology and healthcare news outlets. It has been recognized for its potential to democratize healthcare access and simplify personal health tracking.[9] Critics have highlighted the device's accessibility and subscription-free use as game-changers in the digital health market.[10]
