I've been trying to figure out if Theranos had produced anything of value. Do you have sources you can share that describe these incremental improvements?

- gwbas1c 8y agoRead through "Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou. He describes a lot of the research that went on by Theranos engineers. There were attempts to do good work by people who believe in the vision. Now, to put things in perspective, if you're anywhere near or over middle age, you've probably had blood drawn. It's freaking scary every time the needle is pushed in for me, and I frankly had to flat out reject my doctor's request to get blood tests every 2-3 months. (I got a second opinion.) If these tests could be done with a much smaller amount of blood, things would be much easier. I'd be much more willing to run into my local CVS for whatever test my doctor wanted if the test involved a lot less blood. That's why the engineers believed in the vision and did a lot of good work to try to lower the amount of blood needed for tests.
