TLDR Theranos claimed to be able to conduct a multitude of tests with only a few drops of blood. This was all said to be possible through Theranos’ “invention,” the Edison, up to 200 tests can be performed using only a small amount of blood. This would have carved a new practice in the healthcare industry. This attracted a lot of attention: from media hype, investors, and business partners. Theranos was secretive, not only with its technology but also with how the company worked.
