Predictive Healthcare
Renowned scientist Leroy Hood, MD, PhD, joined Pattern founding CEO and chair Mark Anderson in a centerpiece conversation at Future in Review 2025 about the new era of healthcare and genetics.

Hood, CEO of Phenome Health and a pioneer in personalized healthcare, kicked off the session by noting that "data-driven health is going to lead to the biggest paradigm change ever in medicine, giving us a healthcare of wellness and prevention, as opposed to disease." He went on to describe the critical nature of adding 20 years' healthspan to lifetimes in the developed world as demographic shifts accelerate. Hood envisions a near future in which we have mastered the art of monitoring a combination of personal data, from a patient's entire genome and phenome to blood analytes and microbiome, to understand their health state in real time.

Click through to see the complete session and hear more about personalized medicine from this pioneer in the field, as well as a special announcement regarding a new project between the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, where Hood is CIO and co-directs the Center for Phenomic Health, and Anderson's explainable AI (XAI) startup, Pattern. https://youtu.be/ooOptgql6JU?si=USfciF8H_E3MwxQl

This week in the SNS Global Report ...
Berit Anderson explores challenges facing leaders in US innovation as they look toward the back half of the 21st century – a multilayered topic with wide-ranging effects relevant to all of us.

See why Berit says, "Without research and reliable data about key scientific trends in climate, human health, disease, resilience, economics, and demographics, it will be hard for innovators to identify and respond to national trends challenges in real time. This is by design." In this week's Global Report: "AUTOCRACY IS KILLING U.S. INNOVATION."

VCs Driving Innovation

Ecosystem Venture Group and Keiretsu Capital managing partner Nathan McDonald hosted a panel onstage at Future in Review 2025 with top venture capitalists to discuss what kinds of innovation the venture community is most interested in today.

Jennifer Byrne, general partner at Grit Capital Partners, said she is currently focused on AI solutions for data-heavy industries like fintech, media, marketing, and commerce, which all have a lot of room for AI solutions to do the basic legwork so humans can move on to more relevant tasks.

Bill McAleer, co-founder and managing director of Voyager Capital, noted that his firm focuses on companies with a maximum of proprietary technology – of late, particularly in the agricultural sector, which Voyager sees as a key growth area.

Quinn Li, SVP and global head of Qualcomm Ventures, said that as head of the venture branch of a larger parent company, his main mission is to find strategic investments that are relevant to Qualcomm; but for the same reason, he also can do long-horizon investments that pay off over 10 years.

Click through to see the complete conversation and hear more about what VCs are investing in today and how the ecosystem has changed in the past few years.
