Tasso Inc.’s new product is approximately the size of a ping pong ball that utilizes a small vacuum to draw a small sample of blood to flow into an attached tube. The device is reportedly nearly pain-free.
Individuals can perceivably draw blood samples at home and then send them to labs for testing.
Tasso recently received $3 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to continue its project.
Tasso hopes to bring the device to market in 2016.
