I don't think so. As I understood, their core value proposition was that they could deliver detailed, accurate blood test results with just a few drops of blood and their proprietary analysis technology. In reality, they used traditional venous draws (way more than a few drops), and competitors' systems to deliver test results of lower accuracy than their competitors. If they were really 'doing it by hand,' they would have still delivered on their core value prop of detailed results with only a few drops of blood.
- gmarx 10y agoNot so (if I understand your point). They were using the competitor systems on a few drops of blood. I read they were diluting the blood and then correcting the results. This is doing the same thing without the tech in the hopes that they would eventually make their tech work
- jasonlaramburu 10y agoInteresting, didn't realize they were using finger pricks (few drops of blood) on machines designed for venous draws. I guess the important point is that whatever they tried didn't deliver real value to their users (i.e. they did not 'make something people want').
