No. Because a small finger prick for blood analysis to "make it a gold mine" is not valid, even on a conceptual level. The only thing her granted patents are good for is evidence in proving her guilt at trial.
Patent fraud

Make your check out to Richard Branson. He turned SPACs into space stuff and now has the largest worldwide DNA database as of June 17th 2021, and is talking about future SPACs that look at next-gen genomics powered by AI. Sorry, that's Sir Richard Branson.

Yes I'm aware she outsourced it to the reliable dinosaur machines she purchased. I am looking at this more from the angle of the actual vision, not really her "fake it till you make it" reality. Thought I conveyed that in my OP intro by conceding the facts of what was to come with her. I swear some of you really need to go back to that reading comprehension portion of the ACT as a teen where your brain was trained to dissect the subject matter, imho.
While we are riding the bus to return to English, as teenagers, the bold should clearly be NEW paragraph. Further, if several readers here failed to grasp the poorly constructed theme of your OP, is there any chance it could be just you at fault and not many others?
Just a concept I had.

Thanks for your concept. There should be an "a" before NEW.

Certain tests require heating the blood, chemical reactions, radiating, etc.
You cannot do that with a “drop of blood”.

Since Star Trek already laid down the road map for teleportation it seems like it would be an absolute gold mine for a real company like Space X or whomever actually makes it work.
Thoughts?

MDs really wouldn't know much about Blood Analysis.
Chemists and Biologists are who would know.
The issue with very small samples of anything is detection/limit of quantitation.
Sure it would be great. But, many different analyses would need huge improvement

People were so obsessed with the notion of this young woman being the first female Steve Jobs/Bill Gates/Elon Musk/etc. that they didn’t bother to do even the most basic homework. The zealot-like commitment to virtue signaling was what allowed Holmes to get away with as much as she did.

I thought scientists already uncovered that information could be passed between photons on computer chips, so quantum teleportation is no longer just a hypothetical.
As for a real company like Space X making this work for future profits, I would tell Elon not to dilute his shareholders with this burden of R&D $. Let a SPAC take a vertical market public and tackle it that way.

This question is for the OT medical smart muthas out there: It seems pretty obvious that the actual vision of Theranos was brilliant, never mind the small details of massive wire fraud and RICO corruption and all those other nominal infractions. Isn't this blood analysis by a small finger prick basically just a gold mine for a real company like Lab Corp or whomever to actually make work? Just seems to me like these new advances in AI and 23andMe and these other companies, this blood stuff should be more advanced based off of Theranos already laying down a road map. Thoughts?
Read Bad Blood. Holmes is a fraud, as was Theranos. The fact she’s not in jail yet just confirms again a two tiered justice system.
Posted on 6/19/21 at 3:09 pm to Tomatocantender
Well the general idea of being able to use a smaller amount of blood to test for certain things would be worth a lot if feasible. Pricking a finger being less painful than then a venus is absurd though. You have much more nerve endings in your thumb/hands then your elbow. Regardless something that would have helped her is a degree in biomedical engineering from Stanford.

She was pretty “close” but clia does not deal with pretty close at all. They are strict down to the tenths of a degree and do not make exceptions. Therefore, her instruments could not pass validations that were performed correctly. Results were falsified and you really can’t get away with that with that.
