Disrupting Health Care Using Deep Data and Remote Monitoring: Michael Snyder, Ph.D.

Our present healthcare system focuses on treating people when they are ill rather than keeping them healthy. Dr. Snyder’s lab has been using big data and remote monitoring approaches to monitor people while they are healthy to keep them that way and detect disease at its earliest moment presymptomatically. Dr. Snyder’s lab uses advanced multiomics technologies (genomics, immunomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiomics) as well as wearables and microsampling for actively monitoring health. Following a group of 109 individuals for over 13 years revealed numerous major health discoveries covering cardiovascular disease, oncology, metabolic health and infectious disease. The lab has also found that individuals have distinct aging patterns that can be measured in an actionable period of time. Finally, the lab has used wearable devices for early detection of infectious disease, including COVID-19 as well as microsampling for monitoring and improving lifestyle. Dr. Snyder believes that advanced technologies have the potential to transform healthcare and keep people healthy.

I don't get a blood sugar spike from eating a 130 g serving of buckwheat groats (untoasted), but I do from white rice and teff porridge. Would be nice to know if this is true for most people. I can't eat buckwheat anymore since I have corn allergy and buckwheat is often cross-contaminated with corn. I might be having the same problems with teff, too.
