SCiO Handheld Molecular Scanner Analyzes Food, *****, and Neglected Houseplants (VIDEO)
![]() Summer is fast approaching here in the United States, and for many, it is the time to commence*(or at least contemplate) dieting to look better in a swimsuit by the time the weather gets warm.*We’re **t huge fans of counting calories, though; the process usually involves looking through tables and databases of food that might **t even actually match what’s on your plate. A new device*launching on Kickstarter today*aims to simplify the process by utilizing spectrometry to analyze and provide real-time information*on any food that you aim it at. Dubbed SCiO, this Molecular Scanner from Tel Aviv-based company*Consumer Physics takes spectrometry tech**logy found commonly in laboratories and industrial environments and places it in a consumer device **t much larger than a common USB drive.The process is simple: pair SCiO to your phone via Bluetooth, hold it about an inch away from an object, such as an apple, and press a button. In just a matter of seconds,*SCiO supposedly Analyzes the actual chemical makeup of the apple, sends*the data*to the cloud, and accurately identifies the fruit and provides*nutritional information about it. The food app can also give information about*how*ripe that apple is. Additionally, SCiO can also scan medication. During a live demonstration we attended last week, Consumer Physics’ co-founder Dror Sharon scanned two brands of ibuprofen, and SCiO was able to identify which pill was a generic brand. When we asked what other medical-type applications SCiO could have, Sharon explained that SCiO won’t be marketed as a medical device at the start, but has the capability of scanning the skin and bodily fluids and could evolve into a medical device if there is e**ugh interest from consumers. The sky is the limit for potential applications; while SCiO will ship with the ability to identify a large number of food and medication, the company will rely on its*users*to help expand the database.*Consumer Physics will also release an application development kit so programmers*can create their own apps that use SCiO. One unique*application we saw was how SCiO*could also help you develop a green thumb. Scan a plant with the included plant application, and it will let you k**w if your plants are in need of water. If you want to get your hands on a SCiO, you can pre-order one **w through Kickstarter for $149.
