I think the 23&me thing is creepy data collection on the population. However, drug therapies are hoped to be targeted to specific populations with specific genes. Theoretically, this would improve outcomes and reduce adverse events.

Think of this - social media data plus genetic information equals “we know who you are and how to kill you”.

Theoretically, this would improve outcomes and reduce adverse events. Yale University is working on such using Hadoop / big data technologies.
