The Future of Genetics in Personalized Care

The healthcare system is broken. Over half of Americans say that they don’t feel healthy today. Frustrated with “generic” health advice, patients are noticing that medical care, diagnosing, or managing illness are detached from the health actions they strive for every day. Doctors and patients agree that there’s a gap in the healthcare experience, and a critical need for personalized, actionable data that can drive better health outcomes. Genetics is a rapidly evolving field of medicine, but our healthcare system has yet to fully utilize it as a tool to inform disease prevention and treatment. Can we integrate genetics into primary care to provide the most comprehensive picture of our health? Join Anne Wojcicki and Bloomberg Technology host Emily Chang as they explore how a genetics-based approach to care can empower patients and physicians alike.
