Big Data in Health and My Personal Case Dr. Michael Snyder Stanford University

Modern Healthspan

Dr. Snyder is the Stanford W. Ascherman Professor and Chair, Department of Genetics and Director, Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University. He is a leader in the field of functional genomics and proteomics. Seminal findings from the Snyder laboratory include the discovery that much more of the human genome is transcribed and contains regulatory information than was previously appreciated, and a high diversity of transcription factor binding occurs both between and within species. He has also pioneered the use of different state-of-the-art “omics” technologies as well as wearable devices for managing human health.

In this video, Dr. Snyder discusses how we can manage our health with big data. He uses his personal experience as an example of what we can learn through monitoring our physiological markers.
