It says "accuracy". For the overall assessment.

I.e. it needs the original 75% accuracy or so and boosts it another 20%.

The problem is that the assessment itself is slow, expensive and requires skill.

What we really want from a test is high specificity (a positive test means you have accuracy) and high sensitivity (if you get a negative test you don't have it).

This is how we can offer screening.
