I wonder if it's possible to design a personal device that can track most of the 100+ biomarkers named in the front page of this website. I guess that do do so it must analyze more than the blood (through LEDs reflections), for example saliva or feces.
After all my watch tracks already 6/7 of them, why not 100?
Long time ago I used a fetal Doppler to detect heart failure in adults. It was not based on LLMs (2016) but on a HMM to learn the hidden states: The heart beats.
It was tested with the Physionet database. It performed quite well, but I didn't invent the algorithm; it came from a Physionet competition.
The most surprising thing I learned that coconut milk is a lot less healthy than I would have guessed (high in lauric acid).
I had always heard that dark chocolate was heart healthy, in spite of being high in saturated fat. In addition to the effect of antioxidants, the stearic acid in dark chocolate quickly converted by your liver into oleic acid (a monounsaturated fat).

We've done a little research in this area, attempting to approximate blood-based biomarkers on wearable data. You can get some of them: https://www.empirical.health/blog/wearable-foundation-model-...
A YC company, Athelas, started by developing an at-home blood test analyzer (they've since pivoted).
Thanks for the answer.

It could run on low power computers.

(OP) This was fun to write.
