Regarding Theranos ... the idea always had merit but that doesn't excuse the fraud. We are certainly on the verge of being able to diagnose many, many diseases through the combination of AI/computer modeling and simple tests. Diabetes screening at your eye exam? Yep, coming. Accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's through a simple blood test? Yep, coming. Send some toilet paper in for colon cancer screening? Yep, already here. And best of all, highly effective cancer vaccines (see Moderna's work on melanoma, for instance). We're all going to live to 100...
