In a wide-ranging series of panel discussions last week at Austin’s SxSW 2018 conference, experts on healthcare systems, care delivery, population management and wellness tech discussed the problems the industry continues to face today — and how they might be solved. Among the highlights:

• Neuroscientist Ashley Van Zeeland noted that the cost of decoding the human genome has fallen dramatically, but there is a critical funding and infrastructure bottleneck for interpreting genome data.
• Amino, a startup focused on providing patient consumers with real price transparency, used nine billion healthcare claims to develop its pricing algorithms. It is now marketing its services to employers.
• Continuous monitoring wearables, according to Dr. Robert Kraft, represent one of the best potential avenues for making healthcare delivery proactive, rather than reactive.
