This makes it seem like they only used satellite data and a model to guesstimate this number? Very dubious without medical records to back this up.

Anyone remember Specter? Very simple blogging engine with elasticsearch backend.

I don't think it's out to replace Wordpress like Ghost is trying to do though.
