As a practicing doctor (albeit a junior one) I simply cannot foresee any more than 1 or two conditions where direct to consumer lab testing would actually be of practical use.
If on the other hand her technology is radically cheaper than the hospitals own lab then it would rapidly achieve huge market share and help cut healthcare costs. Just yesterday I had 2 sets of coags on the same patient sent back necessitating retaking (not an easy job on an elderly severely demented woman), one because it had clotted (apparently) and another because there was not enough blood. Smaller volumes required would be great for a whole bunch of situations.
