Precision Medicine: A New Revolution in Healthcare System
Authors
Abstract:
Every human being is different based on genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Novel medical technologies have become more precise owing to molecular information, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc. The “omics” technologies have opened up new horizons for healthcare systems, enabling them to prevent and/or diagnose diseases more precisely, as well as to find the most effective treatments with fewer adverse events. Recently, the term ‘pre­cision medicine’ (PM), focusing on molecular-based medicine, has been introduced. PM empowered by “omics” technologies is going to be translated into precision healthcare. In other words, personalized healthcare is developed to improve the safety and efficacy of medical treatments and also to lower healthcare costs. Accordingly, some PM initiatives have been announced in the US and European countries to revolutionize healthcare systems. In the field of drug discovery, there are concerns about the role of genomics and proteomics in individual response to medicines. Information coming from “omics” such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and antibodyomics based on molecular characteristics of patients will enable physicians to administer safer and more effective drugs to each individual...

Precision medicine is a new approach in medical sciences aimed at individualizing treatment, reducing adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and decreasing health care costs. Precision medicine is also able to maintain the health of individuals by regulating their composition of microorganisms (microbiota) using specific methods. Microbiota is the total stock of microbial species in different organs of...

Precision medicine, also known as stratified medicine or personal-ized medicine, aims to better target intervention to the individual, maximize benefit and minimize harm. Enthusiasm for the prospect of precision medicine has grown significantly in the last few years. There has been increasing interest in two streams of development in precision medicine. First is the integration of electronic me...
