Luca Naso's insight:
Collecting lots of data isn't just about making more accurate Netflix recommendations.
Rather than just judge us on what we say in an eight minute consultation with our GPs, maybe they'll be able to pull up our health data and analyse it properly?
Scientists would be able to more easily identify the effects and side-effects of different treatments, and more quickly develop and bring new treatments to patients.
Of course - there is one awkwardly massive downside to this. Privacy concerns.
