Precision medicine reflects an evolution in healthcare—moving away from the conventional one-size-fits-all approach. With a foundation built on a broad spectrum of information, it encompasses the utilization of traditional clinical information, new data, including genetic data, and advanced technologies to match the right treatment for a patient. Precision medicine relies on large quantities of data from population-based studies that can be sourced from genetic databases, medical records, tissue banks, and other big data channels. Considering the individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle from this data helps doctors predict more accurately which treatment strategy is suited for a particular person and the disease. Precision medicine also saves treatment costs and prevents unintended side effects possible in the broad treatment approach.
For now, precision medicine applications are primarily focused on treatment against oncological diseases, and it’s likely to continue in the near future. The increasing support from government initiatives is expected to accelerate the growth of the precision medicine market in oncological applications. With the genomic research scope widening, researchers are looking at non-oncology therapeutic areas as well. These include infectious diseases, nervous system disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Further, the more specific research of pharmacogenomics that involves the study of genes’ response to drugs will expand with the growth of precision medicine.
Precision medicine is also playing a critical role in changing public opinion on utilizing data for treatment and providing increased transparency in diagnosis. The emphasis on consumer-based practices and widespread adoption of fitness tracking devices suggest public receptiveness toward personalized health and precision medicine. This will allow increased consumer involvement in healthcare decision-making processes and bring more clarity about treatment costs.
