A perspective from Estonia and Canada

Estonia is a global pioneer in the digitalization of public services, including healthcare. Their biobank is a pillar of their strategy, with 200,000 participants, or about 20% of their adult population recruited. We will discuss some of the innovative tools and platforms that have been developed in Estonia to facilitate the implementation of precision medicine and the return of results to their population. We will also describe some of the cohorts and nascent efforts in this space here in Canada. The symposium will also include a panel discussion on education and literacy in precision medicine.
