Precision Medicine
Precision Medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment that takes into account individual variability in people’s genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. It is being developed to predict a person’s risk of developing certain diseases and to tailor treatments to the individual. Precision Medicine is intended to replace the one-size-fits-all approach in medicine with a more tailored, proactive, and preventative approach. By analyzing large, complex datasets of human health, such as genomic, lifestyle, and environmental factors, Precision Medicine offers the promise of developing better treatments and prevention strategies tailored to each person's needs. It offers great potential for improving public health, as well as for reducing health disparities among different population groups.
