Precision medicine represents a shift from symptom-based and intuition-based medicine of the past to a data-driven approach using an individual's molecular and genomic data to guide prevention, diagnosis, and treatment decisions. By applying rules, algorithms and reference databases to integrate multiple types of data such as molecular fingerprints, imaging, and non-molecular content, precision medicine enables actionable clinical decision support and precise, efficient care tailored to each individual.
