Personalized medicine transforms healthcare

The medical profession has been largely reactive throughout history. In many cases, treatments and cures are only attempted once an illness has manifested. As a result, our attempts to treat major diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes are often ineffective, inaccurate, or inconsistent owing to our incomplete understanding of the genetic and environmental influences that contribute to them.
As personalized medicine is based on a patient’s unique genetic profile, it is beginning to surpass the limitations of conventional medicine. Healthcare can be transformed from reactive to constructive by using personalized medicine.
A doctor can better predict which medications will be effective for a particular condition, thereby benefiting the patient. A new clinical method and a change in understanding of medicine in the healthcare system is very important. Personalized medicine enhances drug selection and tailored treatments, minimizes adverse effects, increases patient compliance, shifts the focus of medicine from response to prevention, increases cost efficiency, and reinforces patient trust after the drug is approved [5].
