    • By 2006, the engineers had created a prototype machine called the Edison. Here's how it worked. You put a drop of blood on a small cartridge and slide it into the machine, which runs the test. The data is then wirelessly transmitted via the internet to a lab, where it's analysed and then a report is sent back. Basically, the machine would make blood tests much faster, cheaper, easier, and all from a portable device you could use in the comfort of your own home. At least, that's what the machine claimed to do. But it very rarely worked, and had an extremely high error rate. It was clear to everyone working on the machine that it needed a lot more work before it was ready.
