Ancestry's DNA test has traced the family histories of more than 15 million people. Now the genealogy giant wants to map out your health history.

Why Ancestry's working with doctors

"For a long time, I think the company was very focused on how do we make sure that anything that we're doing is truly actionable for consumers," GeorgiadisShe said that right now, consumer genetic health testing is report-driven. Once a person gets the report, it's often unclear what to do with the information.

To see where Ancestry could be different, Georgiadis hosted a barbecue in the backyard of her Palo Alto home early on in her tenure as CEO, inviting doctors from various medical specialties.

It also meant AncestryHealth would have to provide a clinical-grade test that could be used by doctors.
