The excerpt is a portion of a talk/presentation by a single speaker (labeled SPEAKER A) describing how sequencing the genome, epigenome, microbiome, and proteome turns healthcare into a big-data problem. The speaker cites examples like IBM’s digital genetic/heart models to show how digital models can predict drug impacts, allowing researchers to move from trial-and-error toward data-driven discovery of correlation and causation, fundamentally changing healthcare.

But imagine, once you are able to sequence the genome, epigenome, microbiome, or proteome, in some sense it becomes a big data problem. And the competitor for this thing may come from Googles of the world, not from the pharmaceutical companies anymore. In fact, I have seen that companies like IBM, which have built a complete genetic model of the heart so that even before you go out and test the drug, you say, I'm trying to modify this protein, they can see exactly what impact it's gonna have on the whole heart. So you can come up with complete genetic models, digital models of the things, and you'll be able to essentially manipulate the things and see the impact of these things once you have the big data. So once it becomes a big data problem, it is no longer trial and error. It can actually, you can be able to find both the correlation and the causation of what causes what. And I think that will fundamentally change the way healthcare is done. Thank you.
