Re: Youngest self-made female billionaire
being on par with the current (outdated) way of testing will be a start. There is a lot of room for improvement in current technology … currently multiple errors occur due to inaccurate sample size, sample hemolysis, machine breakdown, inaccurate machine calibration and fairly often due to the composition of the sample (blood0 itself. Blood has a complex chemical composition … not everything is tested or testable on/in whole blood … sometimes you need to spin out the cells and look at serum … then there is the composition of the nanotube itself … at the micro-assay level … where every molecular interaction counts it becomes an important question/issue to address as compared to the macro-sample technology we use currently. i could go on but i dont think this is the right forum for it …
on point with the topic though … i do think theranos is off to a good start. im happy to see lab testing going in this direction. very invest-able idea too IMHO.
