By continuously tracking everything he could possibly track in his body—genome sequencing, metabolites, wearable data, whole-body imaging—he has turned himself (and ~100 study subjects) into one of the world's largest experiments in continuous health measurement. The point wasn’t mindless biohacking. It was to answer a question: Are there clinically useful signals in all that data? This conversation suggests the answer is yes. Snyder’s experience and that of dozens of his study subjects offer some of the first real…
