The
Boston Globe 
(1/3, Pierce) reports on "TAP, for Touch Activated Phlebotomy," a new,
portable device by Seventh Sense that "adheres to skin" and uses "16
tiny needles" to penetrate skin in order "to collect blood." The device
"is designed to be painless and compact" and "will be tested in
hospitals in March. ... TAP collects more blood than a finger stick and
less than a typical needle -- but enough to perform a range of
diagnostic tests, from routine kidney function to infectious diseases,
such as HIV and hepatitis."
