The fourth-leading cause of death is drug side effects, and drugs only work half the time, says Hrusovsky. He believes that if you can personalize the drugs, you have an opportunity to improve the whole pharmaceutical industry.

He says that if you can see biomarkers and incorporate into fitbits, it can really help improve health.
