23andMe and Privacy - Healthcare IT Today Podcast Episode 164


Listen Later

For the 164th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, we are talking about 23andMe and privacy! We kick this episode off by discussing 23andMe’s declaration of bankruptcy to theorize what we think this means for the company and what will happen going forward. Next, we talk about the privacy issues that come from 23andMe and other companies with a lot of healthcare data going bankrupt. Then, we share what we think the impact will be on precision medicine and genomic data. Lastly, we discuss if there will be anything positive coming from the 23andMe journey.

Here’s a preview of the topics and questions we discuss in this episode:

  • What does 23andMe declaring bankruptcy mean?  What will happen in bankruptcy?
  • What are some of the privacy issues with 23andMe going bankrupt or other companies who have a lot of healthcare data?
  • What will be the impact on precision medicine and genomic data?
  • Is there anything positive that will come from the 23andMe journey?
  • Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the Healthcare IT Today podcast.
