Build an app which collects medical data, behavioral data (e.g., what did you do today?), and dietary data from users who agree to a "do anything, as long as my data is kept anonymous"-ish agreement, then use their data to figure out correlations between serious illnesses, and the activities / diets that "cause" them (yes, correlation == causation once you have enough data points - else, what is "proof"?). You can provide a mobile app (HTML5 launcher to get started more quickly) and make it easy for users to cram as much data into the app as possible.

The goal of such an app would be to glean information from all the non-DNA, non-race, non-age, non-economically influenced data points, since most every other medical company (a "company" is what a startup used to be called - so yesterday) cares about the bleeding edge of science. Applying science that matters to data that matters means results.
