Breast cancer is a terrible disease, and I don't mean to be a downer but my BS detector is screaming on this one. I'd give the device image a pass if were just a journalist grabbing a stock PCB image, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Anyone with even a trivial knowledge of electronics would be amused by the callouts. And all for just $5? After Theranos I guess I'm a bit sceptical of claims such as this.

Yeah, this looks like an Apple IIe logic board to me.
Commodity logic ICs ubiquitous and totally capable if needs are well-matched; it’s perhaps a deliberate prototype engineering/development choice.
Any FPGA could do the work smaller, faster, cheaper. So, I’m still skeptical.
