 My name is Lambert Ninteman, and I'm team captain of SDSUX team from San Diego, California, USA. When I was 12 years old, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. At the time that I received chemotherapy, they actually used mustard grin, which is liquid mustard gas, which is what was used in the trenches of World War I. Within a week of being diagnosed, the cancer had metastasized through my entire neck and torso. It was really that difference of a week that changed everything, because back in the mid-80s, a cancer diagnosis was usually a death sentence. Seeing other kids in the pediatric oncology unit with a whole variety of different cancers being one of the only ones to come out of it, that really gave me such a deep appreciation for how precious and valuable life is. And imagine how many families' stories could be changed if they had that little bit of extra time that was needed to detect something early enough to do something about it. I actually watched Star Trek during chemo because it was one of the things that could take my mind off of being sick, because you can be somewhere else and not be in the pain and the suffering. I, like probably every other Star Trek fan, had an idea of how to make a tricorder happen. And the day that I was accepted into the MBA program at SDSU, I discovered the Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize. It was the planets aligning. At that moment I said, well, of course. And this is when I can do it and this is how I can do it. And from the second I stepped foot on campus, I started working on building SDSUX team. We've already finished our first prototype, and in fact we have a technology demonstration coming up in a month where we're going to show the world what we can do. How is it that technology has changed so rapidly in so many fields from warfare to personal communications to entertainment and yet for access and delivery of healthcare, we're still in the 19th century? I can only imagine how many diseases, how many things can be learned from this. Everything is going to change. The number of lives that will be impacted is just unimaginable.
