Precision medicine is a medical model of prevention, diagnosis, treatment and health management based on information of individual molecular characteristics. That is, on the basis of personalized medicine, through big data analysis, bioinformatics and other technical means, to find the molecular mechanism of the formation and development of individual diseases, and based on these characteristics for the patient to formulate the appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan. The purpose of precision medicine is to improve medical accuracy and treatment effects, and to promote the health of patients.
The value of precision medicine lies in its ability to help the healthcare industry realize the transition from "treatment" to "prevention", "early diagnosis" and "precision treatment". Compared with the traditional healthcare model, precision medicine can detect patients' health problems earlier, accurately predict individual disease risks, and formulate effective prevention strategies and personalized treatment plans, as well as customized health management plans. This not only facilitates patients' recovery and health maintenance, but also reduces the waste of healthcare resources and improves the efficiency and quality of medical services.
With the continuous innovation of science and technology, precision medicine will occupy a more and more important position in the future medical treatment. The future of precision medicine will rely more on the high degree of integration between data, technology and clinical practice, and more big data-based disease diagnosis and treatment plan optimization will be widely used. In addition, with the completion of the human genome project and the continuous advancement of gene editing technology, precision medicine will further promote individualized treatment and prevention, opening up a new era of healthcare.
