Recent technological advances as well as longitudinal monitoring not only have the potential to improve the treatment of disease (Precision Medicine) but also empower people to stay healthy (Precision Health). We have been using advanced multiomics technologies (genomics, immunomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiomics) as well as wearables for monitoring health in 109 individuals for up to 11 years and made numerous major health discoveries covering cardiovascular disease, oncology, metabolic health and infectious disease. We have found that individuals have distinct aging patterns that can be measured in an actionable period of time as well as seasonal patterns of health markers. Finally, we have used wearable devices for early detection of infectious disease, including COVID-19 and built an alerting system for detecting health stressors that is scalable to the entire planet. We believe that advanced technologies have the potential to transform healthcare
