Precision Diagnostics
Precision diagnostics is a branch of Personalized medicine, precision medicine where a patient's healthcare model is precisely managed and specific diseases are diagnosed based on the patient's customized omics data analytics. The general idea started in 2015 when Barack Obama's Precision Medicine Initiative was launched. A year after the launch of the Precision Medicine Initiative, the Human Personal Omics Profiling study was launched to establish integrative multi-omics approaches that could be used for precision diagnosis. Each person's diseases are early diagnosed based on their variability in DNA, environment, and lifestyle. This is achieved through recent technological advances in data acquisition from Genomic sequencing, genomics, Transcriptomics technologies, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and Human microbiome, microbiome studies. Through precise monitoring of collateral molecular layers, the whole picture of the personal molecular profile in an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Personalized Medicine
Personalized medicine, also referred to as precision medicine, is a medical model that separates people into different groups—with medical decisions, practices, interventions and/or products being tailored to the individual patient based on their predicted response or risk of disease. The terms personalized medicine, precision medicine, stratified medicine and P4 medicine are used interchangeably to describe this concept though some authors and organisations use these expressions separately to indicate particular nuances. While the tailoring of treatment to patients dates back at least to the time of Hippocrates, the term has risen in usage in recent years given the growth of new diagnostic and informatics approaches that provide understanding of the molecular basis of disease, particularly genomics. This provides a clear evidence base on which to stratify (group) related patients. Among the 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering, an initiative sponsored by National Academy of En ...
