Tricoder X-prize started in 2012 in
less than 5 years and to see the
consumer tricoder before 2025.
Imagine a portable, wireless device in the palm of
your hand that monitors and diagnoses your health
conditions. That’s the technology envisioned by this
competition, and it will allow unprecedented access
to personal health metrics.

Digital immortality (or "virtual immortality", or
"immortality in silico") is storing a person's
personality in a more durable media, i.e., a
computer, and allowing it to communicate with
people in the future.
The result might look like an avatar behaving,
reacting, and thinking like a person on the basis
of that person's digital archive.
The futurist Ian Pearson believes that
humans will save their consciousness
into computers by the year 2050.

Creation of an autonomous life-support

Any patient with an intact brain will
be able to drive a robotic avatar.
2045
Thanks to nano robotics minds will
receive new bodies with capacities far
exceeding those of ordinary humans.
Humanity, for the first time in its history,
will make a fully managed evolutionary
transition and eventually become a new
species. Moreover, prerequisites for a
large-scale expansion into outer space
will be created as well.
