Precision Medicine: Transforming Healthcare Through Personalized Treatment
Precision medicine is reshaping the future of healthcare by shifting the focus from a “one-size-fits-all” approach to treatments tailored to individual patients. By considering genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, precision medicine enables healthcare providers to deliver more accurate diagnoses, targeted therapies, and improved patient outcomes.
What Is Precision Medicine?
Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is a medical approach that customizes disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment based on the unique characteristics of each patient. It integrates data from genomics, proteomics, medical imaging, electronic health records (EHRs), and patient history to guide clinical decision-making.
Unlike traditional treatment models, precision medicine recognizes that patients with the same condition may respond differently to the same therapy.
