Theranos' tech is impossible though, as far as everyone else in the field is concerned. Blood from a finger prick is just not homogenous enough to give accurate levels of pretty much anything Theranos said they could test. The most egregious thing uBiome has been accused of doing basically amounts to insurance fraud, which isn't great but also isn't on the same level as lying to customers about the accuracy of the test results they've received. Insurance fraud isn't what made Theranos "Theranos" at all, so I wouldn't call a corp doing that "Theranos-lite".
