Theranos


In May 2015, Diamandis performed a deep investigation into claims of health technology company Theranos and concluded in a report that "most of the company's claims are exaggerated." This insight from Diamandis triggered John Carreyrou to further investigate the claims that had been made by Theranos. At the time, Theranos was widely considered a reliable and functional analysis company.
