Theranos: - Draws blood using a finger stick and not a syringe. - Can process my results with a small amount of blood. - I can go to a pharmacy drawing station. - Costs less. But what got my attention were these statements: “we believe you have the right to your own health information” and “answers at the speed of digital.” Will be pushing my physician for Theranos the next time I need labs done... Update: I've been to Theranos several times. Never had a finger-stick blood draw, some analyts were resulted by a different lab (UCSF), Theranos' online site did not provide an XML (discrete data) export, and they are having trouble with the FDA. Wow. Disappointed, Hope this is just a technology that is just a little to early. Really want to draw/test my blood multiple times a year. On my own schedule, without a Dr's order... Someday....
