Precision medicine is an emerging approach to disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. It aims to tailor medical approaches to the unique characteristics of each individual, and has the potential to revolutionize health care by providing more effective and personalized treatments for diseases.

There are a number of challenges to implementing precision medicine, including the need for large-scale data collection and analysis, the development of new technologies, and the need to change the way health care is delivered. The potential benefits of precision medicine are enormous, and here’s STAT coverage of a field likely to have a major impact on health care.
