Two significant trends in technology advancements will be investigated: Genomics and Personalized Health Records. How will the discoveries in human genomics affect the stakeholders in the health care system? How will advancements affect personalized therapy? The future of personalized health record (PHR) combined with genomics offers the opportunity for specialized custom therapies and promises challenges for policy makers and physicians alike. However, radical changes in any established system means abundant opportunity for new technologies and new business. Bring your questions!
