@Avner001 : The test is minimally invasive because you have to remove blood from the patient. However a test requiring less blood than what is provided by a finger prick is much less invasive than having to remove milliliters of blood from patients using a syringe as is currently required in hospitals. To analyze specific proteins in the blood you will probably always have to take blood from the patient. The best option is to minimize the amount of blood.
