Exactly. > Unlike Theranos, Sight Diagnostics is starting small and working its way up. Holmes claimed her device could do hundreds of tests across the four main classes of blood tests: hematology, immunoassays, general chemistry and DNA amplification. Sight is only focusing on a subset of hematology for now. So, in truth, they're not anywhere close to trying to do what Theranos promised. The book Bad Blood goes into the technical details that made Theranos's mission fantastical if not farcical. The scope of it is very different. This was one of the most telling passages for me in Bad Blood: Tim [Timothy Hamill, Vice Chair of UCSF's Dept of Laboratory Medicine] confirmed to me that both practices were highly questionable. He also explained the pitfalls of using blood pricked from a finger. Unlike venous blood drawn from the arm, capillary blood was polluted by fluids from tissues and cells that interfered with tests and made measurements less accurate. "I'd be less surprised if they told us they were time travelers who came back from the twenty-seventh century than if they told us they cracked that nut," he said.
