As healthcare is transformed into an information science, there will be three major limiting factors.
Volume
The volume of quantitative information that can be measured about human physiology, per unit time, per unit cost
Ownership
Patient ownership and control over the information collected about their bodies
Tools
The tools available to doctors for collaboration, tracking and analysis of changes in longitudinal medical data, for both individuals and entire populations
We intend to remove these barriers, and reinvent healthcare to be preventive, personalized and accessible to everyone.
