ABSTRACT

Precision Medicine represents a new way of thinking about medicine. Given the ongoing drive in the healthcare field to better understand the patient experience and involve patients in their treatment, it is critical to provide patients with opportunities to learn about precision medicine. Precision medicine aims to improve healthcare quality by tailoring the treatment process to each patient's unique changing health state. Public health policy and decision-making must adapt to this new frontier of healthcare delivery in order to meet the overarching public health goals of reducing healthcare inequalities and enhancing population health through effective and fair healthcare funding allocation. Precision medicine seeks to distinguish illnesses using a variety of data sources, ranging from genomes to digital health indicators, in order to make individualised but "evidence-based" decisions on diagnostic and treatment techniques. Therapeutics can be tailored to patients depending on their molecular presentation, rather than categorising them with a "one size fits all" approach. To fully realise precision medicine's disruptive potential, a comprehensive scientific, clinical, and policy agenda will be required. This review article is aimed to provide a broad overview of the advent and emergence of precision medicine in view of its current implications. Keywords: Precision medicine, preventive medicine, health care
