WELCOME TO
SCANADU SCOUT™
The Scanadu Scout™ is a non-invasive
system measuring the following physiological
parameters: temperature, heart rate, pulse
oximetry and blood pressure. The Scanadu
Scout™ obtains these vital signs from a gentle
touch on the forehead and sends them via
Bluetooth to the user’s smartphone.
Scanadu believes there is an unmet need in
healthcare to develop products and services
for consumers to better engage in their own
health. The Scanadu Scout™ is designed to
meet that need, aiming to be the change agent
of healthcare.
We Are The Last Generation to
Know So Little About Our Health
