Topic of the day
People started to better monitor and manage their health by taking advantage of a wide range of advanced technologies that provide an unprecedented view into their bodies. Michael Snyder, a molecular geneticist at Stanford University, discovered that he had type 2 diabetes by sequencing the DNA in its own genome and closely monitor changes in metabolism, protein production, the gene expression, and other bodily functions. Eric Topol, a cardiologist who has aggressively begun to use new digital technologies in his practice - he threw her stethoscope to a handheld wand ultrasound - says in a new book that no less than a revolution in health care is underway. Everyone can benefit from these new technologies? What these tests cost and who pays for them? And are there any drawbacks to know so much about our own bodies?
Join us for a live chat to 3:00 p.m. EDT Thursday, March 29, on this page . You can leave your questions in the comment box below before the discussion begins.

Michael Snyder
Michael Snyder is the Stanford Ascherman professor and chair of genetics and director of the Center for genomics and personalized medicine. Dr. Snyder is a leader in the field of genomics and functional proteomics. His laboratory study was the first to perform a functional genomic scale project in an organization, and is conducting a variety of projects in the fields of genomics and proteomics in both yeast and humans.
Eric Topol
Eric Topol, MD is the director of the Scripps Translational science Institute in la Jolla, California, where he is professor of genomics and Scripps holds the endowed chair in innovative medicine. His new book, The Creative Destruction of Medicine: How the Digital Revolution will create better health care , was published by Basic Books in January 2012. Previously, he led the Cleveland Clinic's ranking n # 1 in cardiac care, began a new medical school and led key discoveries in heart disease.
