"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

The X Prize Foundation, which bills itself as "the leading nonprofit organization solving the world’s Grand Challenges of our time by creating and managing large-scale, global incentivized competitions," recently announced a collaboration with Qualcomm Incorporated to design the Tricorder X PRIZE, a $10 million prize to develop a mobile solution capable of diagnosing patients better than or equal to a panel of board certified physicians.

The X PRIZE Foundation and Qualcomm hope to achieve this by combining advancements in expert systems and medical point of care data such as wireless sensors, advancements in medical imaging and microfluidics.
