Excerpt

Advancements in research and technology over the past decades have accelerated the transition from standardised or ‘mean-value’ medicine towards personalised or ‘precision’ medicine, where medical decisions, treatments and products are tailored to each patient depending on their predicted response and risk factors. The idea of personalized treatments can be traced back to Hippocrates, who advised that “it is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has” [26], though wider-scale implementation of personalised medicine required new diagnostic and informatic approaches, which originated in the fields of genomics and bioinformatics. …
