But there is a public health reason probably. Imagine a personal diagnostician drawing blood with lancets, (that is a supply
already, and worth it for sterility), then using a gel cartridge of some kind once, letting it sit for a month and repeating.

It would probably dry out and have different concentrations and go uncalibrated, triggering him/her to think the measured
diagnostic had changed.

The more likely way we will see inexpensive personal diagnostics is that supplies become a low cost commodity like lancets.
