Leroy Hood, MD. PhD

“Possibly no scientist has fought harder to reach this goal than physician and biologist Leroy Hood. At the nonprofit Phenome Health, his latest effort to shift the modern paradigm from sick care to well care, he is planning to recruit one million people and collect from them a blizzard of molecular data. Mashed together with medical records, measurements from wearables and other devices, assessments of brain health, and more, Phenome plans to use AI-armed supercomputers to crunch all this data and produce what Hood is calling a “phenomics” profile—a report card designed to untangle and describe a person’s state of health in detail at any given time and arm people with information to stay healthier for longer.”     MORE
