Bio-Scanner

A Rebel using a portable bio-scanner

A bioscan, or bioscanner, was a scanner that was designed to detect and assess lifeforms. It could detect the presence of a lifeform in the area, along with their location[1] and a rundown of their vital signs.[2] With the appropriately loaded information in the bioscan, the unit could determine the lifeform's species. Bioscanners were calibrated to detect lifeforms approximating Human size; creatures smaller than that range were harder to detect, while it was easier to discern larger creatures.[1]

On the Swokes Swokes homeworld of Makem Te, most buildings were equipped with bioscanners. The devices could be used to tell the relative status of everyone on the premises based on the number of jewels implanted on their bodies.[3]
