Your doctor's records tell part of the story. Your DNA tells another. What you report about your daily life helps fill in the rest.
At STAT 2026, 23andMe Research Institute CEO Anne Wojcicki made the case for why none of those data sources is enough on its own, and why bringing them together is what makes predictive, personalized health possible.
"Pulling in medical records fills a really essential gap for us. The goal is to combine medical records, genetics, and self-report data — where people continuously update how they're doing, what's in their environment — and give people a truly accurate picture of what actions they should take and what's in their future," Anne said on stage.
23andMe's beta program is putting that vision into practice, using AI to surface what your data, combined, actually means for your health.

70% of women with PCOS don't know they have it, and it affects ~1 in 10 reproductive-aged women worldwide.
PCOS (now renamed PMOS) is a hormone and metabolic disorder causing irregular periods, high testosterone, weight gain & acne. It also raises risk for diabetes, heart disease & infertility.
Genetics play a role. 23andMe analyzes 1,300+ markers to estimate your likelihood: https://t.co/voPDYptAZe

A groundbreaking study just published in Nature found evidence suggesting that Homo erectus and Denisovans may have interbred, probably hundreds of thousands of years ago in East Asia. And the implications are that Homo erectus DNA may persist in some people today. Human ancestry isn't a straight line — it's a tangled web.
