Uh, they have a licensed pharmacist right there to analyze the results, in the rest of the world a pharmacist can basically do everything an NP can do because they have to know medicine and pharmacology to do their job.
If you look at the Theranos website it make it cleat that the test are still ordered and interpreted by physicians. you are also misinformed about the scope of practice of pharmacists in most of the world. In may places pharmacists have been given limited prescribing power. But prescribing is only part of the role of medical practitioners, and pharmacists are not broadly trained in methodology of diagnosis and laboratory evaluation. This is not hating on pharmacists, pharmacists are fantastic and their knowledge of pharmacology and medication management is key to good patient care, but no self respecting pharmacist would claim that their role in healthcare is similar to that of an NP.
Although its a very limited solution, for a small number of documents your needs may be met by uploading individually encrypted documents an encrypted drive image.
