Theranos promised to build a machine that would reduce the cost of blood samples by multiple order of magnitudes. They were unsuccessful in building it, and they lied about the progress of it all ton investors, journalists etc. This is using existing - proven - testing methods and process. The claims are much less extraordinary; they are not claiming to completely transform an industry, but "merely" to give you additional insights on your health based on what's already known to be working. Maybe it won't be successful or maybe the insights won't be as interesting as they claim, but it's nowhere near what Theranos was doing.
