Accessing Your Health Records

Patients deserve easy access to their medical records. With digital healthcare solutions on the rise, new companies are providing patient-centric solutions to gather, own, and share personal health data. 

Dr. Bob speaks with Seqster CEO and Co-Founder Ardy Arianpour, who is striving to make health data more accessible for patients. And Kate interviews Marie Dagenais-Lewis about creating inclusive workplaces for employees with disabilities.

Ardy Arianpour, Seqster, CEO and Co-Founder

Ardy Arianpour is CEO & Co-Founder of Seqster, an award-winning SaaS healthcare platform that enables organizations to drive efficient healthcare via comprehensive medical records (EHR), individual genomic profiles (DNA), and personal health device data. 

For the first time, users create their own matched, longitudinal health data profile across all of their U.S.-based healthcare data sources through person-centric interoperability. Ardy is a visionary health tech executive and serial entrepreneur in biotech and digital health. Prior to starting Seqster, Ardy launched several clinical and consumer-based genetic tests as CCO of Pathway Genomics, and served as SVP of Ambry Genetics, which sold to Konica in 2017 for $1 billion. 

As a key player in the 2013 landmark SCOTUS decision scrapping gene patents, Ardy played an instrumental role in expanding genetic testing access with the launch of BRCA testing benefiting patients and family members across the country. He made Medical, Marketing, and Media’s (MMM) list as a Top 40 Healthcare Transformer and was recognized among the San Diego Business Journal’s 40 under 40.

Ardy received his bachelor’s degree in biological sciences from UC Irvine and his MBA from Marshall Goldsmith School of Management.
