23andMe offers to connect users’ DNA data with medical records
23andMe will allow users to import medical records to integrate with DNA data, creating an AI-generated Health Summary for personalized disease risk predictions. The feature, developed with HealthEx technology, was announced at the STAT 2026 Breakthrough Summit West and will be tested in a beta program.
23andMe announced plans to enable customers to import their medical records, combining them with DNA data for a comprehensive health overview. The company aims to provide dynamic disease risk predictions by linking genetic information with up-to-date health records. This initiative will include an AI-generated 23andMe Health Summary, currently in development and available to beta testers. The feature leverages technology from HealthEx, a startup specializing in making medical records more portable. By bridging DNA and medical data, 23andMe seeks to offer more personalized and timely health insights. The announcement was made at the STAT 2026 Breakthrough Summit West, an event focused on the intersection of biology and technology. Robin Smith, head of product at 23andMe, stated the goal is to close the gap between genetic and medical data for better health predictions. The company emphasizes the potential for real-time updates to refine risk assessments as new health information becomes available. This new functionality will initially be tested with select users before broader rollout. The integration aims to enhance preventive care by providing a holistic view of an individual’s health profile.
