In this quick video, I explore Haemanthus, a new stealth-mode startup led by Billy Evans, the partner of Elizabeth Holmes—yes, the Theranos founder. While Theranos pursued optical assays, I argue that electrochemistry offers a far more effective approach for rapid blood testing. I demonstrate why electrochemistry is superior, showcasing real-world tests that highlight its speed, affordability, and minimal sample preparation. From blood glucose monitoring to scalable sensor technology, electrochemistry could redefine diagnostics for start-ups like Haemanthus. Is this the direction they should take? Let’s discuss!
