Theranos was once touted as a company that had the power to change the world. Founded in 2003, the health startup promised to make phlebotomists extinct and put vital health information into the hands of average people. This boiled down to a small (and very secretive) box-like machine called the “Edison,” named after Holmes’ favorite inventor. Using a bunch of pseudo-scientific wishful thinking that turned out to be largely divorced from the laws of physics and the principles of basic common sense, the Edison was designed to conduct accurate blood tests with only a few small drops, allowing people to gauge their own health with a prick of the finger rather than having to go to a clinic and forfeit several large vials for each sample.
