Explained simply
Theranos was a US health technology company founded by Elizabeth Holmes. It said its devices could run many medical tests using just a small amount of blood, but investigations found that the technology did not work as claimed.
Holmes became one of the most prominent figures in Silicon Valley before the company collapsed. She was convicted of fraud in 2022 over misleading investors; the case raised questions about company oversight and claims made to investors.
The Dropout is a dramatised series about Holmes and Theranos, while You Can See Everything is a documentary about the same story. Together, they offer different ways into a case that combined medical testing, business ambition and criminal proceedings.
