  "account": "Bosch is not fond of the comparison to Elizabeth Holmes, but they will not let it pass. Despite the similarities, Bosch aims to surpass Holmes' ambitions. In the early 2010s, Holmes, a drop-out student, introduced a medical device called Edison. Edison, no larger than a coffee machine, aimed to replace numerous medical tests and diagnoses with a few drops of blood from a person's fingertip. Patients could view their cholesterol levels, diabetes risks, and even potential cancer within minutes. Holmes claimed her invention could save lives through early diagnoses without the need for expensive labs. However, the reality turned out to be a massive deception. Almost a decade after Holmes' downfall, another machine identical in size to a coffee machine has emerged in Waiblingen, Stuttgart. Its name is Vivalytic. While it also promises to diagnose cancer with a few drops of blood and a short waiting time, the resemblance ends there.",
