I agree with you whole heartedly. I would say that what medicine and biotechnology need their own apps and web technologies. Imagine if the next Uber or Instagram clone could instead be a patient facing app that integrates personal medical, genetic, fitness and dietary data with epidemiological trends to improve patient-doctor interactions for diagnoses and treatment? Or if biotech firms adopted the same open source ethos that many tech giants have embraced to contribute to a software development ecosystem that fuels innovation in the personalized medicine space? Unfortunately bioinformatics-in-practice tends to be about 10 years behind the rest of the tech sector, and the only thing that the giants of biotech share with their tech sector counterparts is a love for IP. Still, an inflow of ambitious tech talent into the biotech and biomedical space could hack the industry open. Then again, there's also regulatory capture.
