Excerpt

There is a sense of excitement and change occurring in mainstream medicine. President Obama, in his State of the Union address on January 30, 2015, announced a national Precision Medicine Initiative (The White House 2015). More recently, the United Kingdom’s government innovation agency started a Precision Medicine Catapult designed to enhance the development of precision medicine in the UK (Precision Medicine Catapult 2015). Precision medicine is defined by the National Research Council as “the tailoring of medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient” (National Research Council (US) Committee on A Framework for Developing a New Taxonomy of Disease 2011). This builds on an increasing interest in personalized medicine and, indeed, the terms “precision medicine” and “personalized medicine” are sometimes used interchangeably (Avitabile 2015). Common to both is an emphasis on tailoring treatment to individual needs and, increasingly, on the role of technology to support that goal (Carney 2014; Sacchi et al. 2015). …
