Robot Doctor: Handheld Device Diagnoses 100s of Conditions from Single Blood Drop

US scientists have created a home device that replicates hundreds of complex and expensive lab tests by analyzing just one drop of blood. The constant monitoring offered by the device – which needs little training to use – could save millions of lives.

“There are two billion people on Earth who have no access to ready medical care.
