The moonshot is human blood/tissue mRNA sequencing with a 30 minute turnaround for under $100.
That requires some insane processing locally to create a gene expression histogram, a secure cloud database to match against other patient data to recommend health markers, and a few terabytes locally of other gene combinations that are known dissease markers to sift through.
AIDS, diabetes, cancer, ... any disease detectable by your gene expression levels being out of whack can be diagnosed.
