Essential read on the deeply FLAWED design of the taxpayer-funded GRAIL Galleri-Medicare study of cancer screening. Its called the "REACH" study but it is more of a GRAB. A veritable shakedown of the American taxpayer.

JUST IN: Skin exams are getting automated. SquareMind just raised $18M to build a robotic system that scans your entire body and tracks every mole over time. • Swan robot captures full-body dermoscopic images in minutes • Tracks new and changing spots across visits • Replaces spot-check exams with total skin coverage • Creates a time-series record for earlier melanoma detection • Plugs directly into dermatology clinics Robotics is going to reshape healthcare.
