Question: Theo how many people do you save a day

Well, at the moment we are still developing the technology that will eventually, we hope, be used to save people’s lives by doing stuff like detecting cancer earlier.

A huge amount of work goes into developing new technologies – i.e. taking an idea, and turning it into a functioning thing. The devices we are working on need the combined effort of hundreds of people – technicians, scientists, engineers, doctors, nurses. Inevitably, these things take a long time!
