I meant the general industry of flashy looking "health tech" devices, though perhaps it's unfair to link theranos in with some of the more consumer targeted products. but people really want to believe that silicon valley style technology can come in and solve long-standing medical issues, especially around diagnostics, and I've seen a lot of scammy products go by.
replyYeah, as if medical tech has no good engineers, true. An advantage of consumer tech, though, is that because they don't have to be 100% reliable and precise, there is less red tape and they can innovate faster.
replyAs long as they don't pretend otherwise, I guess that's fine.
