Summary
What if the problem isn’t lack of health data, but the fact that none of it talks to each other? In this episode business advisor and Forbes contributor Shimite Obialo and David Korsunsky, founder of Heads Up, unpack why wearables, labs, medical records, and biomarkers often create confusion instead of clarity. David shares how his own biohacking journey led him to build one of the first platforms designed to unify long-term health data and why regulatory changes, APIs, and now AI are finally making true integration possible. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why more data doesn’t automatically lead to better decisions • How to turn years of labs, wearables, and medical records into meaningful trends • What AI can (and should not) do in personal health • How predictive insights differ from diagnoses and why that matters • How to bring smarter questions to your doctor instead of raw charts This conversation is about using data as a tool, not a distraction, and building a clearer health strategy you can actually act on.
