Anne Wojcicki on Direct-To-Consumer Healthcare and The Future of Digital Health

We are honored to have Anne Wojcicki (@annewoj23), co-founder and CEO of 23andMe, among our small group of luminary LPs whose financial capital and engagement power the next wave of Village Global founders.

She joined us in Mountain View for an intimate fireside chat with the first Chief Data Scientist for the United States Office of Science and Technology Policy, DJ Patil (@dpatil).

They discussed:

- Why the US healthcare system is broken.

- The state of direct-to-consumer healthcare.

- Tailored medicine and the future of digital health.

- 23andMe’s drug discovery efforts and how continuous data monitoring can change how drugs are developed.

- The problem with clinical trials and how to fix them.

- How Anne would change the US healthcare system if she could wave a magic wand.

- The founding of 23andMe and the company’s philosophy.
