(Techcrunch) Natasha Lomas - Sight Diagnostics, an Israeli medical devices startup that's using AI technology to speed up blood testing, has closed a $27.8 million funding round. The company has built a desktop machine, called OLO, that offers a "lab-grade" point-of-care blood diagnostics system. OLO currently offers a complete blood count (CBC) from a finger prick's worth of the patient's blood, and will use new funding to expand the menu of diagnostic tests. The idea is to offer an alternative to having venous blood drawn and sent away to a lab - with OLO taking minutes to perform the test, which a non-professional can carry out.
