Isn't that very similar to what Theranos was supposed to be doing?

I would have to expect there were at least a few brilliant scientists who worked there and contributed some momentum in this direction, and could be regaining some footing in legitimate operations now.

Theranos was claiming they were already delivering the full spectrum of tests when the promise is still not fullfillable.

Alternatively, realistically focusing on a single miniaturized test or two until you get consistency with the established reference instruments could provide the foundation for a worthwhile investment by comparison.

I'd love to get one of these. I have been using a whoop to sanity check all my exercise routines with their recovery data. I feel like something like this could help me hone in on the perfect diet and lifestyle even better than a continuous glucose monitor.

You might not be getting accurate recovery data from Whoop. The heart rate sensor is doesn't work very well. https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/05/whoop-3-platform-review....

Data has been pretty close to my Apple watch. One annoying part is it sometimes stops transmitting data to my bike computer, but I think that’s a Bluetooth problem and after the workout I will check the whoop app and it was recording the whole time.
