Using genomic data to empower patients

We live in an era where we are relentlessly reminded that our data is being misused. So much so, in fact, that we are completely fatigued by it, switching off to the constant news flow that tells us just how bad it has got – just when we thought it could not get worse. To cut through the noise, Nebula Genomics makes sure to go straight to the jugular, telling people immediately: "Corporations are making billions off your health data without your permission." The company aims to create a community of health data sharing, with express consent from the individual, which rewards users with insights into their health and allows them to contribute to a community dedicated to using it for lifechanging research. DATAx spoke with Dennis Grishin, co-founder of Nebula Genomics, about how a greater understanding of genome data can change patient's life, empower them and turn the healthcare industry on its head.
