The hype about a single fingertip-prick blood test has clearly become mainstream at this point, especially considering Theranos’ somewhat unfortunate publicity. But some companies, Genalyte for example, are taking a similar approach – more closely in comparison than some others. But they might have a better business model and approach that doesn’t inspire such focused criticism. It comes in the form of the Maverick Detection System.
Since Genalyte started in 2007, they have had the one drop of blood focus with an effort to provide full lab results for a patient in just minutes, ones that literally replicate your normal, full blood testing, eliminating the need to wait and return later for an additional visit.
