Short answer: No. If only because we are a software provider, while Theranos produces medical devices.

More detailed answer: With Probatix, we want to give people easier access to their own health data through our software. We act as an interface that connects users with qualified laboratories to have their blood values professionally analyzed. We then make the results available digitally. Our role is that of a software provider that promotes transparency and accessibility in the healthcare sector.

In contrast to this Theranos was a company that developed medical devices and misled both patients and investors with deliberately false promises. The machine manufactured by Theranos never worked and the samples were in fact secretly analyzed on real laboratory equipment. The book “Bad Blood” by John Carreyrou is highly recommended if you want to find out more.
