23andMe plans to give its customers the capacity to import their medical records, allowing what it calls “a 360-degree view of their personal health.” The offering will include an AI-written 23andMe Health Summary, which the company said is in development and will be available to some beta testers.
“We are moving toward a world of dynamic disease risk predictions based on an individual’s most current health data. The goal is to provide better, more personalized insights by bridging the gap between an individual’s DNA and their medical records,” Robin Smith, the 23andMe head of product, said in a statement about the deal.
The announcement was made at the STAT 2026 Breakthrough Summit West Tuesday, an annual event focused on the intersection of research in biology and technology. The new functionality will be based on the technology of a startup called HealthEx, which is designed to help users make their medical records more portable.
