Version 0.2 of scanband increases the size of the measuring window to 5 mm and adds a colored warning strip to allow for quick diagnosis of dangerously diminished mid-upper arm circumference. The barcode gradient in this might be inverted (snafu) and the strip still needs a numerical readout. Also, a window system that folds over the strip, rather than relying on cut slits, would be easier to fit on patients.
